\u201cAs the Trump administration continues to roll back environmental protections and actively put our health at risk, a clear majority of Virginia\u2019s congressional delegation stood up for Virginia\u2019s air, water, land, democracy and our coast,\u201d said\u00a0Virginia LCV\u2019s Executive Director Michael Town<\/strong>. \u201cWe are proud to have representatives in Congress who will fight for our environment. And here in Virginia, where we just made unprecedented progress in the climate fight, passing a bold plan that gets to 100 percent clean energy by 2045, we will continue to build our clean energy future and secure cleaner air for all Virginians.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2019 Scorecard measures votes cast during the first session of the 116th Congress. In Virginia, seven House members and both Senators earned a score of 80 percent or greater.

\u201cWe are grateful to Speaker Pelosi and her pro-environment majority for prioritizing climate action and protections of our air, water, lands, wildlife, and democracy,\u201d said\u00a0Vicepresidente Senior de Asuntos Gubernamentales de LCV, Tiernan Sittenfeld<\/strong>. \u201cWhile pro-environment leaders supported policies that will protect communities across the country, especially low-income communities and communities of color, from the negative impacts of climate change-fueled extreme heat, natural disasters, and toxic pollution last year, Senate Majority Leader McConnell\u2019s refusal to act on hundreds of important House-passed bills put the health of our children and families at risk for the benefit of his corporate polluter friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2019 Scorecard includes 29 House votes on climate related bills, protections for our air, water, lands, and wildlife, and pro-democracy legislation. In the Senate, for the third year in a row, the majority of the 14 scored votes are confirmation votes on Trump\u2019s anti-environmental nominees.<\/p>\n
