Voting for the 2022 general election will begin in just a few weeks! EnviroVoters has made a slew of endorsements in races up and down California, including in 18 priority races. If we elect all these climate champion candidates, we can secure a climate majority in the State Legislature, plus protect the Democratic majority in the U.S. House. California has its biggest field of open, competitive seats since 2010. This is a real opportunity to elect leaders who will consistently introduce and support climate solutions in Sacramento. Meet our slate of climate candidates and learn how you can help elect them.

EnviroVoters helped increase the state’s climate investment in the budget by 46% (!!!) to a whopping $54 billion. This historic investment gives us a roadmap to solve the climate crisis and advance justice. Watch our video to learn more about how California went BIG on climate in its budget:

Prop 30, the Clean Air Initiative on the California ballot this fall, will accelerate the state’s transition to zero-emission vehicles and increase extreme wildfire resilience.

EnviroVoters held an August fundraiser in Piedmont at the home of Clean Tech Party Co-Chair Steve Schiller, and featured David Hochschild, Chair of the California Energy Commission. Hochschild spoke on the Commission’s strategy to provide a clean, modern energy system for all Californians and announced that the state is adopting the nation’s most ambitious goal of 25GW in offshore wind by 2045. Our CEO Mary Creasman inspired the audience with her vision of a climate just future in California and moderated a Q&A with Hochschild. A committed crowd of environmental activists and clean energy advocates raised $13,500 for our nonprofit mission. Special thanks to Michael Colvin, Victoria Rome, Steve Schiller, Parin Shan, and Edward Smeloff for serving on the Host Committee.

California Environmental Voters, then called California League of Conservation Voters, was founded in 1972 when two groups of activists, from Los Angeles and San Francisco, were brought together by Marion Edey to combine their common efforts to elect environmental champions. Two years later, we released our first California Environmental Scorecard (then known as the Voting Chart) rating state legislators on their votes in 1973 and 1974. Stay tuned as we celebrate 50 years!
