| Cleaver, Emanuel | Missouri | 5 | D | Congressman Emanual Cleaver understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On Congressman Cleaver's energy page it states, "As early as 1859, British scientist John Tyndall discovered that carbon dioxide (CO2) can trap heat. Since Charles Keeling began measuring atmospheric CO2 in the late 1950s, scientists have accumulated a wealth of evidence documenting the increase of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, the rise of global average temperature and the influence of human activities on the Earth’s climate." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Cleaver has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a 2021 article from the Martin City Telegraph, detailing an "an online meeting of the South Kansas City Alliance on Sept. 13," it stated, "The energy-themed meeting began with a pre-recorded talk by U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II, who announced he would be working in the next 90 days with the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority to launch an ambitious program to provide free rides on electric buses in three 21st century corridors. The corridors (which are yet to be determined) would provide charging stations for electric vehicles.
“It will be no emissions and no admissions,” he quipped. 'This will be a major part of what I’m doing in the next session of Congress as a response to climate change.'" The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 tweet regarding the climate impact on black communities, he stated, "It’s no secret that #ClimateChange affects communities of color the hardest.

We are in the midst of the fourth year of a very severe drought. You can debate whether this drought is or is not the result of climate change, but you cannot debate the fact that CO2 in our atmosphere is approaching 400 parts per million – highest it’s ever been in over 800,000 years. You cannot debate the fact that it’s a heck of a lot warmer in California in the last decade than it’s ever been in recorded time. You cannot debate the fact the snow level in California is rapidly rising up the Sierra Nevada and the Siskiyou Mountains leaving us with an ever smaller snow reservoir." Congressman Garamendi makes climate change a top priority issue. In a 2022 press release announcing his support and vote for the 'Inflation Reduction Act,' he stated, "This historic legislation provides over $369 billion—the single largest investment ever—to tackle the climate crisis.

| Garcia, Chuy | Illinois | 4 | D | Congressman Chuy Garcia understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Environment,' page, it states, "This generation faces an unprecedented and urgent climate crisis that threatens our economy, our national security, and our planet. As a nation and member of the global community, we must aggressively confront human-caused climate change. To do so, policy makers must promote a transition to sustainable technologies in the 21st century. | 100 | 100 | Congressman Garcia has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a 2019 press release calling for infrastructure policies to address climate change, Rep. Garcia stated, "The fact is, climate change is causing more extreme weather events and will put more strain on our crumbling infrastructure." The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 speech endorsing the Green New Deal, the Congressman stated, "The greatest challenge to our generation combating and reversing the effects of global climate change." Congressman Garcia makes climate change a top priority issue. In a 2019 speech on the EPA, he stated, "It is important to acknowledge the growing crisis of climate change in our times. Yet President Trump wants to severely cut funding for the atmospheric reduction programs." | 100 | Congressman Garcia publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congressman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307). The rate begins at $15 per metric ton of CO2-e in 2021, increases by $10 each year, and is subject to further adjustments. He was not in Congress to vote on a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 119). | 100 | 100 | https://chuygarcia.house.gov/issues/environment

| Grijalva, Raul | Arizona | 7 | D | Congressman Grijalva understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On Congressman Grijalva's, 'Combatting Global Climate Change,' page it states, "According to the Environmental Protection Agency, global average temperatures have risen by 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit over the past 100 years. Without a proactive national strategy to reduce emissions from greenhouse gases and contain other man-made drivers of climate change, temperatures will continue to rise. Some members of Congress deny the challenges presented by climate change and prefer to ignore the overwhelming scientific data available on the issue. Rep. Grijalva continues to believe in the need for comprehensive energy legislation that meets the nation’s energy needs, creates green jobs and decreases greenhouse gas emissions. He understands the importance of investing in clean energy and preventing the potentially catastrophic effects global warming could have on our farms, coasts, and oceans." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Grijalva has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a 2019 press release on the House Natural Resources Committee Climate Action Report, he stated, "This report illustrates the Committee’s focus on climate change and the solutions we have offered. I’m proud of the work we’ve done so far and know that so much more needs to be done to fight the climate crisis. I look forward to continuing our efforts in 2020, and beyond, to helping protect the entire planet and meet our ethical responsibilities to future generations.” The Congressman makes prominent public statements on the issue. On his, "Carbon Dioxide & Climate Policy," page, it states, "Climate disruptions will cause the spread of invasive species, threaten native species, endanger watersheds, cause habitat loss, and increase the intensity and length of the fire season on our public lands. It is difficult to imagine Glacier National Park without glaciers or Joshua Tree National Park without trees. Yet the evidence is clear that we may be facing just that kind of future." Rep. Grijalva makes climate change a top priority issue. He is a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal, saying in a press release, “What I heard yesterday is what I’ve been hearing for years: this economy needs to be cleaner and more sustainable if we want a livable future. The Green New Deal is the right framework for the work we need to do, in Congress and across the nation, to reduce our fossil fuel use, create green jobs, and protect our country and our planet for the long term.” | 100 | Congressman Grijalva publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. In 2015 as the Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Grijalva helped create a competing budget proposal to that of the then-Republican majority called the "Peoples Budget." The proposal looked to implement a carbon fee of $25 per ton emitted. Congressman Grijalva voted against a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 119). In 2013 he also spoke on the House floor advocating for a carbon tax stating, " it's time for serious action climate change is global the United Nations report indicates at 31 3.1 billion people because of climate change will be in extreme poverty by 2050 if we want to make a sizable dent in the human contributions to climate change we have to start making those responsible for pollution accountable and pay for it." | 100 | 100 | https://grijalva.house.gov/combating-global-climate-change/

| Hayes, Jahana | Connecticut | 5 | D | Congresswoman Jahana Hayes understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a 2019 press release supporting the Paris Agreement, she stated, "The decision by the Trump Administration to withdraw from the landmark Paris Climate Accord is irresponsible, irrational, and dangerously close-minded. The science is clear: climate change is real and it is here. We need to be doing more to repair the damage done to our planet, not backing away from the necessary steps. A failure to act is a theft from our children’s future. I urge the Administration to reverse this decision in the strongest possible terms.” | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Hayes has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a 2019 press release supporting the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9) the Congresswoman stated, "Like the overwhelming majority of Americans, I understand that climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. If we do not adhere to the promises we made as a nation in the Paris Climate Agreement, our children and grandchildren will pay the price." The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2020 press release on the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis's recommending the Clean School Bus Act, a bill the Congresswoman introduced, she stated, "“Climate change has been threatening the lives of our children and the health of our environment for decades. COVID-19, which directly threatens our respiratory health, has made it crystal clear that we need to address air pollution caused by our school bus fleet immediately.” Rep. Hayes makes climate change a top priority issue. In a 2020 tweet, the Congresswoman stated "The negative effects of climate change are happening in real time all over the country. We must take real action now." | 100 | Congresswoman Hayes publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Holmes Norton, Eleanor | District of Columbia | 1 | D | Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a press release on the increasing frequency on natural disasters, Congresswoman Norton stated, "Climate change has exposed to country to the increasingly numerous and severe natural disasters that are occurring in areas never previously recorded. We have a moral and civic obligation to be upfront with the American people about federal, state, and local unpreparedness for new and unanticipated disasters. Both the funding and thinking in Congress is locked somewhere in the 20th century, failing to take into account what climate science already shows is occurring on an annual basis.” | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a 2020 press release advocated for the INVEST in America Act, which was included in the Moving Forward Act (H.R. 2) and would reauthorize funding for DC public transit. In the press release, she stated, "The use of technology in transportation and the bill’s many climate change innovations make this a break from prior bills to become the nation’s first 21st century transportation and infrastructure bill. The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. According to a 2017 press release, the Congresswoman during an Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management Subcommittee hearing on disaster mitigation and recovery called climate change “the elephant in the room.” Rep. Holmes makes climate change a top priority issue. From a July 2021 press release, "Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), Chair of the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, released her House floor remarks on the INVEST in America Act, the surface transportation infrastructure bill, which Norton held write and which the House passed today." The Congresswoman stated "However, today's bill, for example, for the first time tackles climate change in recognition that transportation leads as a source of greenhouse gas emissions. The need to reduce burning fossil fuels is a priority in this bill to move us more quickly to zero emissions." | 100 | Congresswoman Norton Holmes publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. ”The Congresswoman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307). The rate begins at $15 per metric ton of CO2-e in 2021, increases by $10 each year, and is subject to further adjustments.The Congresswoman also co-sponsored the America Wins Act (H.R. 4142), which aims to put a tax on carbon pollution and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 52% in ten years. | 100 | 100 | NOTE: THIS CANDIDATES DID NOT VOTE ON ANY OF THE VOTES ABOVE, SO THE VOTE SCORE DOES NOT FACTOR INTO HER CLIMATE CALCULATION.

| Houlahan, Chrissy | Pennsylvania | 6 | D | Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. According to her website's 'Energy and Environment' page, Congresswoman Chrissy states, "As an engineer and a scientist, I understand the grave threat that climate change poses to America and the world at large. Let’s be clear: climate change is real, and human behavior is making it worse. The adverse effects will impact not only the natural environment but also our national security and our economic vitality. I am committed to fighting for binding legislation with actionable measures to mitigate these negative impacts and stop climate change in its tracks." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Houlahan has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a press release supporting The Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9) the Congresswoman stated, "Climate change is happening. And we are causing it. Inaction on this threat harms our economy, national security, and health. I refuse to stand by and do nothing. This is a fight for our country, for our children, and for humanity." Rep. Houlahan also makes prominent public statements on the issue. Congresswoman Houlahan penned a 2019 op-ed for the Daily Loca, where she wrote, "Let us be frank: Climate change is happening. The effects will be disastrous. And it’s caused by human activity. But this recognition cannot be reserved to one day a year. We need to be acting every day from here on out to combat climate change and reverse the negative impacts it has had on our world and will continue to have if we don’t take aggressive action quickly." Rep. Houlahan makes climate change a top priority issue. The Congresswoman proposed an amendment to The Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9) which, "encourages the United States to go above and beyond the requirements outlined in the Paris Agreement and aggressively employ diplomacy to work with our partners around the world to take swift and decisive action to combat climate change." | 100 | Congresswoman Houlahan publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congresswoman co-sponsored the Climate Action Rebate Act of 2019 (H.R. 4051), which imposes a carbon fee on the use, sale, or transfer of certain fossil fuels and fluorinated gases that emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Rep. Houlahan was not in Congress to vote on a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con.

| Huffman, Jared | California | 2 | D | Congressman Huffman understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Environment and Climate Change,' page, it states, "Addressing climate change is the greatest imperative of our time. The stakes are enormous for our environment, our economy, and our planet. Confronting climate change will require major investments in infrastructure, new technologies, high-quality jobs, and energy independence." In a video message on climate change from the Safe Climate Caucus, Congressman Huffman stated, "Climate change is clearly influencing the extreme drought that we're grappling with in California that in turn is threatening everything from our drinking water to our food supply to our wild salmon populations so we should be acting to fight against climate change we should be investing in climate research supporting renewable energy that helps pivot away from our nation's addiction to polluting fossil fuels and raising efficiency standards for vehicles buildings and power plants." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Huffman has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a 2020 press release introducing Resources for Workforce Investments, not Drilling Act (ReWIND Act) he stated, "The Trump administration has proven time and again that it cannot be trusted to act in the country’s -- or the planet’s -- best interests. Any large allocation of money invites misuse, and Congress must take the necessary precautions to ensure that Trump doesn’t use taxpayer money to provide handouts to the fossil fuel industry.” The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 press release supporting the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9), Rep. Huffman stated, "It’s time to draw a line against the Trump administration’s attempts to take us backward, worsen the climate crisis, and make the United States an international laughing stock." Congressman Huffman makes climate change a top priority issue. In an op-ed co-written with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, the Congressman writes, "Denial is no longer an option; mockery of the Green New Deal is not a constructive answer. It is time for serious action." | 100 | Congressman Huffman publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. In 2015 the Congressman introduced the Gas Replacement Act, which according to his site would, "Replace the chronically-underperforming federal gas tax with a life-cycle assessment-based carbon tax on gasoline and diesel fuels that will accurately reflect the carbon emissions of the fuel." The Congressperson co-sponsored the Climate Action (H.R. 4209) which would place a tax on carbon pollution to raise money for infrastructure projects. Congressman Huffman voted against a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con.

| Jayapal, Pramila | Washington | 7 | D | Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congresswoman's campaign website, it states, "Pramila is standing up to climate change deniers in Congress and fighting for immediate action on climate change — pushing to reduce carbon emissions in the U.S. and around the world. She is a proud co-sponsor of the "100 by '50" Act, which lays out a road map to achieve 100 percent renewable energy by 2050, including a just transition for workers in the fossil fuel industry. Pramila understands the dire consequences any further delay will have on our environment, public health, and local fishing and tourism industries." Our latest, 2022 research shows no updated information on the Congresswoman’s climate change position. | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Jayapal has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. The Congresswoman brought a climate scientist as her guest to the 2019 State of the Union, stating in a press release, "Climate change is creating refugees, claiming lives and costing taxpayers billions of dollars. The Trump administration continues to push our planet down a path of destruction. Instead of tackling the problem head-on, President Trump is burying his head in the sand and handing out favors to his friends in the coal industry.” Congresswoman Jayapal also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2020 Twitter post, the Congresswoman stated, Boldly taking on climate change isn’t something we can compromise on — the fate of our communities and our planet is at stake." Rep. Jayapal makes climate change a top priority issue as well. She demonstrated this by becoming a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal. | 100 | Congresswoman Jayapal publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. In a 2019 E&E News article, the Congresswoman claimed the progressive movement had been, "a little bit all over the place," on carbon taxes and that, "No one wants to take it off the table... And at the same time, we want to recognize that there are some challenges inherent to each of these methods." The Congresswoman was also a supporter of Washington Initiative 1631, a 2018 ballot initiative in Washington state, which would have implemented a fee on carbon. Congresswoman Jayapal voted against a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H.

| Johnson Jr., Henry C. | Georgia | 4 | D | Congressman Johnson understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Environment,' page, it states, "We cannot achieve or maintain a high standard of living if our environment is severely degraded or damaged. The window of opportunity to secure our natural environment against existential threats produced by human activity is rapidly closing. Humans are in large part responsible for climate change, a potentially devastating threat to our security and health that must immediately be addressed." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Johnson has demonstrated leadership on climate change through advocating for climate action. In a 2018 press release being recognized for his 100% environmental voting record by Environment Georgia, the Congressman stated, "Protection of our imperiled planet is the central challenge of our time. Climate change is real and threatens our health, the environment, national security and our economy, and I’m committed to working with anyone on Capitol Hill, the White House and the Fourth District to invest in clean-energy technologies and jobs.” The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2020 meeting with Climate Climate Lobby volunteers, the Congressman stated, "Every American and indeed every person on this planet is affected by this public health crisis, but yet, in these times of isolation, self-reflection, and fervent politicking, it is all the more important that we take a step back and acknowledge the effect we are having on our planet." Rep. Johnson makes climate change a top priority issue as well. In a 2022 press release, "Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) criticized Shell for a 2020 company statement, saying that its operating plans, outlooks, budgets and pricing assumptions “do not reflect” its emission reduction targets. 'How can we take Shell’s climate mitigation goals seriously when they do not even consider these goals in their current budgets, outlooks and prices?” he asked.'" | 100 | Congressman Johnson publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congressman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307). The rate begins at $15 per metric ton of CO2-e in 2021, increases by $10 each year, and is subject to further adjustments. He also voted against a 2018 resolution by Rep.

| Kilmer, Derek | Washington | 6 | D | Congressman Kilmer Makes understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a 2019 interview with the Kitsap News Group, when asked about climate change, the Congressman stated, "I think the evidence is clear that climate change is real and that we need to do something about it. You can just look at the district I represent. I represent 11 Native American tribes, four are coastal tribes that as we sit here are in the process of trying to move to higher ground. We were out in Taholah a few weeks back meeting with the Quinault Indian Nation. Their lower reservation is below sea level. Their president Fawn Sharp said to me, ‘When I was a kid the ocean was a football field’s length away.’ She said, 'Now it’s our front porch.'" Our latest, 2022 research shows no updated information on the Congressman's climate change position. | 100 | 100 | Congressman Kilmer has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. The House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis recommended five bills introduced by the Congressman as part of its congressional climate action framework. In a 2020 press release, the Congressman stated, "There is no debate that climate crisis is real and it’s past time for bold action. Already, our communities are experiencing the devastating impacts of our changing climate, which is why this report and Congressional action is so urgently needed.” The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 press release supporting the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9), the Congressman stated, "The American people are not just demanding action – but leadership – to counter the impacts of climate change. Today, Congress took an important step and passed the Climate Action Now Act, a bill that would enable America to join every other nation on the planet in committing to the Paris Climate Agreement. Additionally, it directs the Administration to develop a comprehensive plan to meet the emission reductions that we committed to back in 2015." Rep. Kilmer makes climate change a top priority issue as well. In a blog post published for The Citizen's Climate Lobby, which highlighted the climate crisis during the 2020 State of the Union, the Congressman wrote, "Climate change is real, and it requires bold action. That’s why I used the State of the Union to elevate the important work that Congress and CCL are doing to foster that bold action and called on the President to do the same." Our latest, 2022 research shows no updated information on the Congressman’s climate change leadership. | 100 | Congressman Kilmer publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congressman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 763). This bill would put a $15 per metric ton price on carbon emissions.
He also voted against a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con.

In 2018 the Congresswoman introduced the Women and Climate Change Act of 2018 (H.R. 4932), stating in a press release, "Climate change is already impacting communities around the world, with a disproportionate effect on the world’s poorest residents. Women make up the majority of the world’s poor and are especially vulnerable to abrupt changes in the environment." Congresswoman Lee also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In 2019 Congresswoman Lee stood with school children on the steps of Capitol Hill advocating for climate change education. In a press release, the Congresswoman stated, "By failing to address climate change in a meaningful way, we are failing our children – and they know it... More than half of young adults in the U.S. are worried about climate change and are taking action by leading protests or walkouts to urge their elected leaders to act. To effectively act upon our changing climate, young people need education on its causes, consequences, and possible solutions.” Rep. Lee makes climate change a top priority issue. She is a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal. The Green New Deal is a set of laws meant to "wean the United States from fossil fuels and curb planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions across the economy" while also "(guaranteeing) new high-paying jobs in clean energy industries." | 100 | Congresswoman Lee publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Lieu, Ted | California | 36 | D | Congressman Lieu understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a 2019 press release recapping his testimony before the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, the Congressman said, "I believe that climate change is the greatest existential threat to humankind. In recent years, the dangers of climate change—and the need to address it—have become increasingly clear. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the last five years have been the five hottest on record with July 2019 being the hottest month in recorded history. These records have severe consequences. In 2018, the U.S. experienced several major weather disasters resulting in 247 lives lost and $91 billion in damages." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Lieu has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. Congressman Lieu introduced the Climate Solutions Act of 2019 (H.R. 2958), which would require 100 percent of electricity sold in the United States be generated from renewable sources by 2035, stating in a press release, "There is no threat greater to our nation’s security than climate change. Failing to protect our planet will endanger the lives of millions, hurt our economy and jeopardize our children’s future. The wildfires in my district were worsened by drought conditions and are a sliver of what is in store if we fail to act." Rep. Lieu also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 op-ed in the Brentwood Residents Association Newsletter, the Congressman wrote, "When it comes to our future, there is no greater threat than climate change. I believe that strong federal action is necessary to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the world our children will inherit. Having a clean environment should not be a partisan issue." Congressman Lieu makes climate change a top priority issue as well. According to a March 2021 article from 'The Hill,' "Speaking at The Hill’s “The Loss of Nature: A Global Threat” event, Lieu said climate change has prompted an upheaval in biodiversity, with policies needed at the state, federal and international to address the problem. “Climate change is an existential threat, not just to California or America, but to the entire world. And the way that we solve this is we get the rest of America to do what California did and the rest of the world to do what America hopefully will do soon," Lieu told The Hill’s Steve Clemons.“The good news is a number of countries are taking climate change seriously. I think they can all do more, but we’ve shifted in just a decade or so from a bunch of people denying that climate change even is happening to now people who are acknowledging it and that’s a very good first step,” said Lieu, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee." | 100 | Congressman Lieu publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congressman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307). The rate begins at $15 per metric ton of CO2-e in 2021, increases by $10 each year, and is subject to further adjustments. In a press release condemning a resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise, which opposed a carbon fee, he stated, "A majority of the American people and even ExxonMobil support a carbon fee. I call on my House Republican colleagues to stop the shenanigans and work across the aisle to help solve our climate crisis.” He voted against a 2021 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 34 (IH)) | 100 | 100 |

On the Congressman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "The seminal Fourth National Climate Assessment, recently released by the federal U.S. Global Change Research Program, only reinforced the current and potential impact of climate change on U.S. national security. According to the report, produced by thirteen federal agencies: “[c]limate change and extremes increase the risk to national security through direct impacts on U.S. military infrastructure and by affecting factors, including food and water availability, that can exacerbate conflict outside U.S. borders.” Moreover, climate change is already affecting our defense readiness by “damaging roads, runways, and waterfront infrastructure.” | 100 | 100 | Congressman Lynch has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. The Congressman introduced the Climate Change National Security Strategy Act of 2019 (H.R. 1201), which, "calls on the Federal Government to step up and lead the fight against the greatest global threat facing the earth," according to a press release announcing an earlier version of the bill.

On the Congresswoman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "Recent disasters such as Hurricane Sandy have highlighted how vulnerable our coastline is to climate change. The only response to this crisis is to proactively reduce carbon emissions and invest in programs that promote energy efficiency. I support an energy plan that has a balanced approach, helps consumers now, boosts production of energy from alternative sources, draws from a diverse energy supply, stresses conservation, and protects the environment. Addressing America’s reliance on fossil fuels by investing in renewable-energy sources is essential for protecting our environment and ensuring our nation’s energy security." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Meng has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. As part of the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9), the Congresswoman included an amendment that stresses the critical link between climate change and food security. The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 article by Queens County Politics, the Congresswoman was quoted the importance of climate change education, stating, "The magnitude of climate change will continue to grow and challenge how we live. That is why it is imperative that we bring the issue into our schools.” Meng makes climate change a top priority issue. She is a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal, a set of laws meant to "wean the United States from fossil fuels and curb planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions across the economy" while also "(guaranteeing) new high-paying jobs in clean energy industries." | 100 | Congresswoman Meng publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congresswoman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 763). This bill would put a $15 per metric ton price on carbon emissions. She voted against a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 119). | 100 | 100 | https://meng.house.gov/issues/energy-and-environment

| Moulton, Seth | Massachussetts | 6 | D | Congressman Seth Moulton understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "When leading scientists throughout the world agree on a single issue, it should be a clear sign that we lawmakers need to pay attention. Climate change is real, and it jeopardizes our homes, our cities, our futures, and the only planet we have." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Moulton has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a November 2019 Tweet, the Congressman stated, "Climate change is a threat to our national security.

| Napolitano, Grace | California | 31 | D | Congresswoman Grace Napolitano understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a 2018 press release regarding President Trump's termination of the Clean Power Plan, the Congresswoman stated, "It is infuriating that President Trump is again siding with coal-burning states and coal lobbyists over the health and safety of all Americans. It does not take a scientist to understand that pollution does not follow state boundaries. The expected rule and its increased emissions of carbon dioxide will affect human health all across the country and globe. Today’s announcement further shows this administration’s absence when it comes to mitigating the catastrophic impacts of climate change." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Napolitano has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a 2020 press release introducing an infrastructure modernization bill, the Congresswoman stated, "Our robust plan modernizes our nation’s roads, bridges, buses, railways, airports, sea ports, and critical drinking water and wastewater infrastructure. It makes smart investments to create good-paying jobs, while tackling climate change head on and improving the daily commute." Congresswoman Napolitano also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2020 press release announcing monies appropriated to California for climate initiatives, she stated, "By tackling climate change head on and improving the daily commute, we are investing in the future of Americans and American infrastructure.

| Neal, Richard | Massachusetts | 1 | D | Congressman Richard Neal understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Environment and Climate Change,' page, it states, "One of his top priorities as Chairman of the Ways & Means Committee is making the environment we share cleaner and safer, while also promoting renewable energy that creates thousands of jobs in the process. That’s why he held the first Ways & Means hearing on climate change in over a decade. It's why he cosponsored the Climate Action Now Act, which would enter the US back into Paris Climate accords, and set hard limits on carbon emissions." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Richard Neal has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action.
In May 2019 as the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Neal hosted the first hearing on climate change in 12 years for that committee. The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2017 press release condemning the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, Congressman Neal stated, "The administration that consistently denies the existence of climate change has now abandoned an international effort to preserve and protect our environment." Congressman Neal makes climate change a top priority issue. "As Chairman, Richie is also a champion of the GREEN Act, which would be Congress’s largest tax investment ever in combating climate change and promoting clean energy. The act extends current renewable energy tax incentives, and creates new models to increase the use of green energy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
But according to IBerkshire.com, during a town hall, he was pressed on climate change by constituents and gave an unsatisfactory answer which advocated for natural gas as a bridge fuel. Congressman Neal's website and position papers advocate for climate action, but not as a top priority issue, since he remains committed to fossil fuels. On their website it says, "'Neal said he continues to support the wind production tax credit to increase renewables there but 'you have to have an integrated approach.' He said by simply ending the use of natural gas, prices would increase dramatically.'" While Vote Climate U.S. PAC believes that we must transition to 100% renewable energy by 2030, there may need to be a short transition period. | 100 | Congressman Neal publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. In a speech on the House floor in opposition to a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise Expressing the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H.Con Res 119), the Congressman stated, "Listen. If you want to debate a carbon tax, let’s hold some hearings. Let’s find out what it would mean for the economy, for Big Oil, for families in Springfield. Let’s find out what impact it would have on fossil fuel emissions and on economic growth. Let’s think strategically about how it would affect our geopolitics. If you want to have this debate, let’s have this debate." Congressman Neal voted against a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 119). | 100 | 100 | https://www.nealforcongress.com/environment-climate-change

| Neguse, Joe | Colorado | 2 | D | Congressman Joe Neguse understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "Climate change is an existential threat that we need to begin tackling head on. In Colorado, we already see the first-hand effects of a changing climate and its impact on our ecosystems including flooding, droughts, and more intense storms. Our state’s recreation-based industries have a lot to lose as well: threatening skiing, hiking and backpacking, rafting, fishing, and wildlife dependent activities. Backcountry enthusiasts flock to Colorado to enjoy our natural wonders; global climate change could damage this important sector of Colorado’s economy. Simply put, Colorado has a vested stake in the health of our world’s climate." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Neguse has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. The Congressman introduced the Climate Readiness Act of 2020 (H.R. 6119), which would require the Department of Defense to submit to Congress a report outlining the threats both domestic and abroad of climate change to United States national security. The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 press release introducing the Thirty by Thirty Resolution to Save Nature (H.RES. 835), the Congressman stated, "Climate change is the existential threat of our time, one that cannot be ignored or idled on, but one that must be met with bold and pragmatic solutions that protect our future and our planet.” Rep. Neguse makes climate change a top priority issue. According to a 2021 Colorado Politics article, "U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse of Lafayette is taking credit for landing more than $50 billion in stimulus money for the proposed 21st Century Climate Conservation Corps. The first $10 billion would go to hire thousands of young people and veterans starting out at $15 an hour, followed by $40 billion for local resilience and wildfire preparedness projects and other work to cut emissions, administered by the Department of Interior and the U.S. Forest Service." | 100 | Congressman Neguse publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congressman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307). The rate begins at $15 per metric ton of CO2-e in 2021, increases by $10 each year, and is subject to further adjustments. In a 2018 interview with the League of Women Voters, when asked about climate change, the Congressman stated, "I believe we should have stronger federal emissions standards, a federal carbon tax, and an end to the massive subsidies currently provided in our tax code to oil and gas companies who contribute so greatly to climate change." | 100 | 100 | https://neguse.house.gov/issues/energy-environment

| Ocasio-Cortez, Alexandria | New York | 14 | D | Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congresswoman's official website, she states, "We must treat Climate Change like a serious, existential threat to our planet." When speaking about the large-scale changes that would have to be implemented by the Green New Deal, legislation that would implement economic reforms to cut carbon emissions while boosting the economy, she said that ""Even the solutions that we have considered big and bold are nowhere near the scale of the actual problem that climate change presents to us." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. According to the Congresswoman's, 'Green New Deal,' page, she introduced and sponsored the Green New Deal Resolution (H.R. 109), "to recognize the scale of the climate crisis and provide a roadmap to evaluate policies that can protect our planet and uplift our communities. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a speech introducing the Climate Emergency Resolution (H. Con. Res 52) the Congresswoman stated, "Climate change represents not only our greatest threat but one of our greatest opportunities. Working to solve the climate crisis will create tens of millions of union jobs, empower communities, and improve the quality of life for people across the globe.” The Congresswoman makes climate change a top priority issue. According to a 2019 AP article, when discussing the Green New Deal, the Congresswoman said there is, "no middle ground” when it comes to climate change. | 100 | Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. According to an article in Politico, "Even some progressives who support a carbon tax, such as Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), are promoting it as just one possible element of a sweeping "Green New Deal" that includes pouring huge amounts of money into renewable energy." An article in 'The World,' said, "The Post's Editorial Board recently laid out its own argument for a Green New Deal that, unlike the AOC-Markey plan, includes carbon pricing and stops short of broader progressive goals. Stephen Stromberg of the Post, who authored the editorial, expressed some surprise that the Green New Deal did not include carbon pricing, noting that in 2009, Sen. Markey co-sponsored a carbon-pricing bill that, at the time, was considered 'the premier global warming/climate change legislation of the Obama era.'” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was not in Congress to vote on a 2018 resolution by Rep.

| Panetta, Jimmy | California | 19 | D | Congressman Panetta understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Environment,' page, it states, "We must remain committed to protecting our environment for future generations by confronting and attempting to reverse the effects of climate change to support the health of our community, country, and planet. As your Member of Congress, I am working to deliver thoughtful and innovative action on climate change to protect public health, and clean air and clean water; advance our economy and global preeminence in green technology; defend our national security; and to pass on a healthy and sustainable future for our children." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Panetta has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. In a 2019 press release supporting the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9) the Congressman stated, "United States leadership was crucial in the widespread adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement. Withdrawing our nation from the agreement undermines U.S. global leadership on combating climate change and threatens the future of our planet."
Congressman Panetta makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 press release introducing The Climate Action Rebate Act (H.R. 4051), the Congressman stated, "Climate change is a severe and serious threat to our coastal communities, agricultural economies, public health, and national security. It’s beyond time for our government to do its part to respond to this crisis by reducing carbon emissions and promoting a financially feasible transition to a clean energy economy.” Rep. Panetta makes climate change a top priority issue. From a June 2020 press release, "the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis unveiled a comprehensive congressional climate action framework, which includes Congressman Jimmy Panetta’s (CA-20) legislation, the Green Bus Tax Credit Act... By tackling climate change through the tax code and incentivizing the adoption of clean energy technologies, these bills will help meet the report’s ambitious but attainable climate goals." | 100 | Congressman Panetta publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. Congressman Panetta, along with Senators Coons and Feinstein, introduced 'The Climate Action Rebate Act' (H.R. 4051) which would put a price on carbon and use the revenue to fund infrastructure and other government programs.

| Peters, Scott | California | 50 | D | Congressman Peter understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, "Energy and Environment," page, it states, "I am dedicated to combating climate change and fostering renewable energy. Unfortunately, San Diego is facing some of the consequences of climate change--from droughts, to wildfires, and floods from rising sea levels. Therefore, we must not only work to curb climate change but prepare for the effects it has on our region and nation as well. San Diego is home to many innovative green energy and cleantech companies that are important to our environment and economy. I will work in Congress to make sure these companies, as well as the premier research institutions in our region, get the support they need. We owe it to the next generation to ensure they, too, get a chance to enjoy our great outdoors." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Peter's has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. The Congressman published a "Climate Playbook" on his website, stating, "The threat posed by climate change and the cost of inaction are undeniable. Climate change and its effects include: less habitable coastal regions due to rising sea levels, entire cities underwater from floods, homes and centers of commerce destroyed, devastating weather events that worsen every year, and water and food scarcity. Policymakers in the United States must confront this existential crisis head on, and time is of the essence." Congressman Peters also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 press release announcing the Super Polluters Act (H.R. 4113), which would aim to slow climate change by regulating black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons, the Congressman stated, "As oceans warm, sea levels rise, and droughts sear our world, we must find immediate ways to slow and reverse climate change or face these dire consequences of inaction." Rep. Peters makes climate change a top priority issue. In a press release highlighting his contributions to the House Climate Crisis Action Plan, stated, "The climate crisis requires urgent, comprehensive action. We cannot wait to get to where we need to be without major policy change,” said Rep. Peters. “The Select Committee report published today provides Congress with a pragmatic and substantive agenda that we must act on swiftly, including the bipartisan bills I introduced last year, to protect our environment and public health.” | 100 | Congressman Peters publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congressman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307). The rate begins at $15 per metric ton of CO2-e in 2021, increases by $10 each year, and is subject to further adjustments. He voted against a 2021 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 34 (IH)). | 100 | 100 | https://scottpeters.house.gov/issues/energyandenvironment

According to a 2019 Washington Post, Congressman Schiff led a probe into the White House’s suppression of climate testimony. The Congressman makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2020 tweet, the Congressman wrote, "To combat climate change effectively, we need to be able to trust the information coming from our government. Science doesn't lie — but people do lie about science. When it concerns the established scientific consensus, that’s incredibly dangerous. Truth is truth." Congressman Schiff has made climate change a top priority issue. In a 2021 tweet, the Congressman stated "Too many impacts from climate change are now “irreversible,” says a new UN report. But that doesn’t mean we give up. Far from it. It means we act. Right now to ensure action on climate is part of any infrastructure investment. Right now to include it in any budget. Right now." | 100 | Congressman Schiff publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congressman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307).

| Schneider, Brad | Illinois | 10 | D | Congressman Schneider understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's environment page, it states, "Climate change is a grave threat to the ecological and environmental health of our nation and planet. While some chose to deny the overwhelming scientific consensus, I recognize that the failure to address this challenge will, with certainty, result in further environmental degradation and incalculable damage to the world we pass on to our children." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Schneider has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. According to a 2021 press release, "Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) led 142 original cosponsors in introducing a resolution expressing support for the upcoming 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, also known as COP26, as well as reaffirming American support for global cooperation in combatting climate change." Rep. Schneider also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2022 press release responding to SCOTUS's decision to limit the EPA's ability to regulate carbon emissions, he states, "In today's ruling in West Virginia v. EPA, the Supreme Court is fundamentally hampering the EPA's ability to fulfill its mission. Climate change poses an existential threat that requires urgent federal and global cooperation. By restricting the authority of the EPA to regulate dangerous greenhouse gas emissions and protect public health, this decision takes away a critical tool in our fight against climate change. The clock is ticking on our window to take meaningful climate action. We cannot, and I will not, allow this set back to deter our efforts to protect the environment and secure our future from the dangers of climate change." Congressman Schneider makes climate change a top priority issue. In 2020 the Congressman introduced The Greener Transportation for Communities Act (H.R. 7318), stating in a press release, "Our country needs to get serious about transitioning to and ultimately achieving net-zero emissions. Transportation is a key contributor to emissions so we need to rapidly move to electrify our car and truck fleets." | 100 | Congressman Schneider publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. When asked on whether he supported a carbon fee (which he called a carbon tax) during a forum hosted by the Tenth Congressional District Democrats, he stated that, “I think a carbon tax is an example of a market mechanism and I think there are ways we can use the market that will create incentives for companies and consumers to lower their emissions. Yes.” Congressman Schneider voted against 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 119). | 100 | 100 | https://schneider.house.gov/issues/environment

| Schrier, Kim | Washington | 8 | D | Congresswoman Kim Schrier understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congresswoman's campaign website, it states, "Climate change is real and we need to take immediate action. Dramatic, destructive weather systems and forest fires have grabbed the attention of our nation and the world, while the impacts of climate change run exponentially wider than that. From species extinction to oceanic ecosystems collapse, communities across America deserve to understand how their region’s forests, water resources, agricultural industries, and native species held dear will be impacted. Here in the 8th, we will see more wildfires, earlier growing seasons, reduced snowpack, warmer temperatures in our tributaries, a spike in waterborne infectious diseases affecting fish, and species extinction. We have the unique opportunity to champion policies that will create new, sustainable, clean energy jobs and grow our economy." Our latest, 2022 research shows no updated information on the Congresswoman’s climate change position. | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Schrier has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. On her campaign website, Rep. Schrier states, "As we face the increasing threat of climate change, significant investments in forest management, wildland firefighting and mitigation, and agriculture research will allow for better wildfire preparedness and help specialty crop farmers. This legislation (The Build Back Better Act) also includes electric vehicle tax credits and other rebates that help save families money while moving our country toward a cleaner, more energy efficient future." The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 op-ed in The Hill, the Congresswoman wrote, "There is no denying it: climate change is one of the biggest public health threats facing our country and planet. From increased air pollution to worsening extreme weather disasters, to greater risks for diseases, climate change impacts every aspect of our health and safety. Americans need action on climate change, and they need it now." Rep. Schrier makes climate change a top priority issue. In a speech on the House floor supporting the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9), the Congresswoman stated, "In order to combat the effects climate change, we are all going to have to work together. Ours is a country that has always banded together to take on the greatest challenges of our times, and this is no exception. This is a time for the U.S. to not just partner, but lead the world in protecting this planet for our children and future generations." | 100 | Rep. Kim Schrier publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. In an August 2018 interview with the Seattle Times, Rep. Schrier expressed support for the 2018 Washington State ballot initiative that would have implemented a fee on carbon. Rep. Schrier was not in Congress to vote on a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 89). | 100 | 100 | https://www.drkimschrier.com/issues/climate-change-and-the-environment/

| Sherman, Brad | California | 32 | D | Congressman Sherman understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Protecting our Environment,' page, it states, "I co-sponsored the Climate Emergency Act, which will require the President to declare a national climate emergency under the National Emergencies Act, and take active steps to mitigate the climate crisis." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Sherman has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. On the Congressman's, 'Protecting Our Environment,' page he advocates for protecting the Environmental Protection Agency, stating, "This administration and the EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt have shown time and time again that they do not fully believe in climate change or man’s contribution to it... It is a dangerous precedent to have an EPA Administrator that ignores decades of scientific research and studies." The Congressman makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 tweet defending the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) he writes, "Ignoring #ClimateChange won't make it go away. The Trump Admin’s latest effort to undo vital environmental protections would let federal agencies move forward with projects without factoring in the #ClimateCrisis. I joined 140 of my colleagues demanding that we #ProtectNEPA." Rep. Sherman makes climate change a priority issue as well. In a 2019 tweet, the Congressman stated "I’m proud to stand and work with them to solve the #ClimateCrisis by co-sponsoring the #GreenNewDeal, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act of 2019, and many other vital pieces of legislation that will help safeguard our environment." | 100 | Congressman Sherman publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congressman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307). The rate begins at $15 per metric ton of CO2-e in 2021, increases by $10 each year, and is subject to further adjustments. He voted against a 2021 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 34 (IH)). | 100 | 100 | https://sherman.house.gov/issues/environment

In a 2019 article in Axios profiling the Congressman, on climate change, he stated, "Most Americans agree that to address climate chaos, to make sure your house doesn't end up underwater or on fire, we should do something about it but make sure we're not pitting workers against their job," Rep. Swalwell makes climate change a top priority issue. He is a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal, a set of laws meant to "wean the United States from fossil fuels and curb planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions across the economy" while also "(guaranteeing) new high-paying jobs in clean energy industries." | 100 | Congressman Swalwell publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon.The Congressman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307).

| Titus, Dina | Nevada | 1 | D | Congresswoman Dina Titus understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In 2022, the Congresswoman spoke on the House Floor regarding Build Back Better, saying that "We must wake up to the realities of climate change, and the increasing intensity and cost of natural disasters.

In a 2021 tweet, she stated, "Climate change is the existential threat of our time...Let's get to work." Rep. Titus also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a letter with other House Dems to President Biden regarding forming better climate provisions in Build Back Better, she stated, "The need to act on the climate crisis while centering environmental justice and creating and sustaining millions of good-paying union jobs has never been more important. In communities across the country, we are already seeing staggering climate damages. Climate change is driving more severe drought and wildfires in the West, larger and more frequent floods in the Midwest, and sea level rise and greater storm damage along our coasts." Congresswoman Titus makes climate change a top priority issue. The Congresswoman is a co-sponsor of the Climate Action Now Act (H.R.9), legislation that "requires the President to develop and update annually a plan for the United States to meet its nationally determined contribution under the Paris Agreement on climate change." | 100 | Congresswoman Titus publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon.

If we don't do our job, they're expected to live through three times as many wildfires, floods, and droughts. We're in a crisis—and we've got to take it seriously." Rep. Torres makes climate change a top priority issue. In a 2020 Facebook post the Congresswoman stated, "#ClimateChange is real whether the Trump Administration likes it or not. Inserting false information into environmental reports is dangerously misleading, undermines our government’s credibility, and worst of all, puts the future of younger generations at risk. This all-out attack on our environment for the sake of higher profits must end!." | 100 | Congresswoman Torres publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congresswoman is a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 763). This bill would put a $15 per metric ton price on carbon emissions.

| Trone, David | Maryland | 6 | D | Congressman David Trone understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Environment,' page, it states, "Protecting our environment is crucial. Climate change is real and it’s a serious threat to our economy and our way of life. Unfortunately, the United States does not have a leader who takes the threat seriously. Trump’s shortsighted decision to withdraw from the Paris Accord made us the only country in the world that is not a signatory to the agreement. Whatever short-term economic benefits Trump may think we gain from withdrawing from this agreement are nothing compared to the long-term costs." | 100 | 100 | Congressman David Trone has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a September 2019 tweet, Congressman Trone wrote, "It's our job to listen to young people, who will face the consequences if we don't take action against #ClimateChange. We must rise up and find a long-term plan to create a more sustainable future. #ActOnClimate." The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a September 2021 tweet, Congressman David Trone wrote "I am working to pass the #BuildBackBetter Act because we are in the middle of a climate crisis.

Hoyer...(all D-Md.) today announced $93,289,392 in federal funding from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to strengthen Maryland’s ability to prevent and respond to climate change related natural disasters. "Climate change is here,” the lawmakers said. 'As we see an uptick in extreme weather-related emergencies, such as storms and coastal and inland flooding, this new federal funding will ensure our communities can withstand and mitigate the impacts of climate change. We must confront the urgent demands of a changing climate, and Team Maryland will continue working to secure additional funding to meet the immediate needs of our state’s infrastructure.'” | 100 | Congressman Trone publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. In a June 2019 Tweet, responding to a proposed bipartisan carbon fee by Rep. John Delaney, the Congressman wrote, "Strong performance tonight from @JohnDelaney. His bipartisan carbon tax plan is the kind of policy we need to move our country forward, and he’s got a realistic plan to tackle the addiction crisis. NBC should give his ideas more time." Congressman Trone was not in Congress to vote on a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 89).

On the Congresswoman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "Climate change is a crisis that affects everyone. For this reason I have co-sponsored the Green New Deal. It is crucial that the United States demonstrates to the international community that many Americans still support the Paris Climate Agreement even though our President may not.

| Wilson, Frederica | Florida | 24 | D | Congresswoman Frederica Wilson understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congresswoman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "I am also convinced that climate change poses a serious threat to our state and our nation. As President Obama said in his Second Inaugural Address, we can no longer ignore devastating fires, crippling drought, dangerous storms, and rising sea levels. I am committed to smart energy policies that fight climate change by cutting carbon emissions and boosting renewable fuel production. As the solar industry has demonstrated, by investing in new clean technologies, we can not only protect our planet but also create new high-wage jobs." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Wilson has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. According to a 2020 press release, the Congresswoman was able to include provisions in The Moving Forward Act (H.R. 2), which would, "establish several new programs that will reduce emissions, invest in new technologies, and improve resiliency." The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2017 press release condemning the president's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, the Congresswoman stated, "And, denying the obvious and claiming that global warming is a hoax is especially disconcerting for Floridians, where issues like the greenhouse effect on water levels and flooding are a major concern." Rep. Wilson makes climate change a top priority issue. In a 2018 tweet, Congresswoman Wilson stated "Warmer temperatures from #ClimateChange are expected to expand the range of mosquitoes and ticks that carry diseases like Zika, yellow fever and West Nile virus.
