We can only assume that from here on out, we’ll have to fight twice as hard to defend the progress we’ve made fighting climate change.
John,
After four days and fifteen votes, the 118th Congress has begun, and Rep. Kevin McCarthy holds the Speaker’s gavel. This level of chaos in selecting a speaker hasn’t been seen in over a century.
The far right isn’t wasting anytime to exert its dominance on the new Republican majority.
The level of dysfunction and chaos from House Republicans is only a taste of what we expect to see over the next two years. And we have no idea what was on the table for those closed-door deals McCarthy made to get what he wanted.
We can only assume that from here on out, we’ll have to fight twice as hard to defend the progress we’ve made fighting climate change.
But SEEC members, alongside their House Democrat counterparts, showed unwavering unity throughout the voting process. While the party of “no” is totally out of control, Democrats remain primed to get big things done and deliver for the American people.
Thanks to your help in 2022, SEEC PAC was able to re-elect over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives — defying the odds on a night where Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 118th Congress while we continue fighting for a sustainable future.
