Friend, now that most of the votes have been counted, I wanted to give you another update on the results from the November 8 election.

After a year of monster legislative and regulatory wins, we’re walking away from 2022 with monster electoral wins too!

We partnered with progressives to take corporate polluters head on and won at least 10 of our priority races in a year when California had the most open, competitive legislative seats in 12 years.

There are so many election victories to choose from. Two of our most significant were Caroline Menjivar winning her State Senate in District 20 and Lindsey Horvath winning a seat on the L.A. County Board of Supervisors. Voters are holding corporate polluter-backed Democrats accountable like their opponents, Daniel and Bob Hertzberg, respectively, and proving that oil money is toxic. 

Pro-climate candidates in battleground Bay Area districts, Liz Ortega-Toro (Assembly District 20) and Aisha Wahab (Senate District 10), beat out corporate-funded Democrats for the future of California politics.

In the City of Los Angeles, residents chose leadership, experience, and integrity by electing Karen Bass as Mayor. In Orange County, Katrina Foley’s victory ushers in the first Democratic majority the Board of Supervisors has seen in decades and our first chance ever to appoint a clean air vote on the Orange County Board Supervisor seat on the South Coast Air Quality Management District.

Here’s the takeaway from the election: Environmental voters in California made it clear that climate champions get elected and accepting oil money is a losing strategy. It's our collective job to make sure these electoral wins turn into even bigger legislative wins with a more climate-focused legislature.

Our efforts have turned into historic results, friend. Can you chip in a few dollars to allow us to hold these newly-elected legislators accountable to acting boldly and swiftly on climate?

Thanks for being with us,
