Environmental Champions
The Center Action Fund is devoted to electing county, state and federal lawmakers with unshakable environmental values, and to promoting progressive policies and laws that protect endangered species, preserve public lands and ensure all people are free from harmful pollution.
Thankfully, there are already many in Congress who regularly stand up to special interests and take the right stance on issues impacting the environment. Based on our wildlife, public lands and clean-air scorecards, as well as the legislation that they have introduced, we have identified these 124 members of the U.S. House of Representatives as environmental champions and urge voters to support them in their reelection campaigns or for other offices.
