| Adams, Alma | North Carolina | 12 | D | Congresswoman Alma Adams understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congresswoman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "There is no denying that Climate Change and the rise in global temperatures results in extreme ecological changes. As a member of the Congressional Safe Climate Caucus, Congresswoman Adams is pushing for strong and proactive environmental policies that combat climate change, curb pollution, invest in renewable energy, and promote sustainable development solutions. She believes it’s time to start investing in more renewable energy sources and develop new green technologies. Investing in energy and the environment is effectively investing in the economy." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Adams has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a 2020 post on 'Twitter,' The Congresswoman stated, "CLIMATE CHANGE ISN’T NEW. We’ve known the damaging impacts of it for years and we can’t afford to not take action. That’s why I’m proud to support the Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act in order to put a #PriceOnPollution and reduce our carbon emissions by 90% by 2050." The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a press release on a 2017 Executive Order that curtailed America's ability to tackle climate change, the Congresswoman stated, "This Executive Order lets companies off of the hook and shifts environmental cleanup costs onto American taxpayers who are expected to be charged as much as $58 Billion by 2030. The President’s actions roll back critical protections to our air and water supplies and significantly reduce our ability to effectively fight climate change. As long as this administration continues to put big business first, its American families who will pay the greatest price.” Rep. Adams makes climate change a priority issue as well. She demonstrated this by becoming a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal. | 100 | Congresswoman Adams 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 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 86). | 100 | 100 | https://adams.house.gov/issues/energy-and-environment

| Aderholt, Robert | Alabama | 4 | R | Congressman Robert Aderholt disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a 2010 op-ed in The Daily Mountain Eagle, the Congressman flouted the science that underpins climate change blaming current warming on natural cycles, writing, "I fall into the second group of people who believe, as do many very credible scientists, that the earth is currently in a natural warming cycle rather than a man-made climate change. Many scientists believe that natural cycles of warming and cooling have existed since the beginning of Earth. If we take the current models of climate prediction and apply those same models to what actually happened in the last thirty years, the models are shown to be very flawed. In addition, what knowledge we do have of a warming period in the Middle Ages cannot be explained by current models which are focused on greenhouse gas reductions." | 0 | 0 | In a 2013 press release on the economic climate the Congressman Aderholt stated, “While Obama's Organizing for Action is showing concern about the climate change debate, hardworking Alabamians and I are concerned with our nation’s dismal jobs climate... The biggest denial is that the Obama Administration’s burdensome EPA regulations that have increased the cost of manufacturing and doing business, that Obamacare driving up the cost of healthcare and crippling hiring, and catering to special interest groups like those that are stalling the Keystone Pipeline are not the root cause our nation’s dismal jobs climate.” Congressman Aderholt demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy and votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Aderholt co-sponsored a 2021 resolution by Rep.

On the Congressman's website, Aguilar states "It is our responsibility to future generations to conserve our resources, protect our environment and do our best to mitigate effects the climate crisis has on our planet. For the past couple of years, we’ve seen unprecedented fire seasons, devastating hurricanes, extreme drought, rising sea levels and more devastate thousands of communities globally.

Rep. Aguilar's campaign website, states, "I take the effects of climate change and pollution very seriously and have worked in Congress to reduce our carbon footprint and prioritize the health and safety of our communities." Congressman Aguilar makes climate change a top priority issue. In a January 2022 tweet, the Congressman stated "I had a chance to talk about how the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will help prevent wildfires.

| Ansari, Yassamin | Arizona | 3 | D | Representative Yassamin Ansari understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On her website, it states that "Rep. Ansari believes that the climate crisis is the defining issue of our generation. She came to Congress from climate advocacy, serving as the youngest climate policy advisor at the United Nations and helping to deliver the historic Paris Climate Accords. On the Phoenix City Council, she led the charge for clean air and water, created the first Office of Heat Response and Mitigation in the country, and helped pass the city’s landmark Climate Action Plan and Transportation Electrification Action Plan. Her work on the Phoenix City Council focused on reducing carbon emissions and improving the city’s air and water quality." In an interview with Living on Earth, Ansari was asked about President Trump leaving the Paris accords. "I don't want to understate how devastating that is to so many around the world. When he first pulled out, that's one of the reasons I was encouraged to ever think about running for public office, because I knew that local action would be more important than ever. We lose so much trust internationally when we make a commitment as a nation, only to revert back just a couple of years later. What we saw last time, I will say, is a lot of coalition building among cities, states, companies. There was a whole movement called the We Are Still In movement coalition that they said, look, even if the federal government is not sticking to its promises, we are going to stick to the promises and make sure that the United States abides by the commitments that it makes. I'm sure, and I hope we see the same this time from nonfederal actors. But I'm extremely disappointed, and I think it's a grave mistake." | 100 | 100 | Representative Yassamin Ansari has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. On her campaign website, she wrote: "The climate crisis is the defining issue of our time. As a climate policy expert, Yassamin has pushed for international solutions to climate change at the United Nations and led bold efforts to clean up our air and water in Phoenix. She passed the city’s landmark Climate Action Plan, created the first Office of Heat Response and Mitigation in the nation, and built a coalition on the city council to unanimously pass the city’s ambitious Transportation Electrification Action Plan, ushering in a clean energy future for Phoenix. She also spearheaded a plan to electrify Phoenix’s bus fleet by 2040, reducing our carbon emissions and improving air quality in the city. In Congress, Yassamin will lead and support policies that: Accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy; Increase investment into building resilience to climate impacts; Work directly with FEMA to declare heat as a natural disaster to unlock resource management capabilities to support our district; Stand up to Big Oil who have tried to stagnate and roll back President Biden’s climate policies, including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill and the Inflation Reduction Act; Create new jobs that will help grow a greener economy and lead efforts for a 'just transition' for the millions of workers currently employed in the fossil fuel, manufacturing and automotive industries." Representative Ansari co-sponsored a bill to establish the Climate Financial Risk Committee and Climate Financial Risk Advisory Committee on the Financial Stability Oversight Council. Representative Ansari also makes prominent public statements on the issue. According to the climate action campaign, she said "In the coming decades, Phoenix will be unlivable unless we curb fossil fuel emissions. Heatwaves kill too many of our citizens every year, mainly in environmental justice communities that also suffer disproportionately from pollution. Our power plants are leading culprits burning fossil fuels, as we are home to 3 of the top 100 most polluting power plants in the U.S. In 2020 the total emissions from our top 10 power plants were recorded at 30 million metric tons, which is equivalent to 6.5 million cars on the road for a year. We have to end greenhouse gases emanating from power plants. The EPA must require almost all existing and future coal and gas-fired power plants to cut or capture 100% of their CO2 emissions. America needs the strongest EPA regulations possible to curb emissions from these power plants."

Jake Auchincloss (D-Mass.), said he’s 'not really waiting another decade for Republicans to decide ‘yeah, maybe we should group together climate change with infrastructure.’” “You can get on board or you can not. But we’re going to do it, because it is pertinent and it is necessary,' said the first-term lawmaker..." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Jake Auchincloss has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action.

That means asserting muscular federal oversight over protecting our clean water and our clean air provisions..." The congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a February 2020 interview with 'WCVB Channel 5 Boston,' Congressman Auchincloss stated "Climate change will steal this planet from the next generation.

| Barrett, Tom | Michigan | 7 | R | Representative Tom Barrett does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. When asked by a constituent about climate, Barrett responded in a letter by saying: "Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about our climate. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me. Like you, I believe that we must be good stewards of our public lands, wildlife, and environment. I am committed to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to implement sensible policies that will actually get results when it comes to preventing pollution, reducing the risk of wildfire, and protecting our waterways. Since we are entrusted with only one planet, it is our responsibility to leave a healthy and sustainable environment for future generations." Further, Barrett wrote an op-ed in the Lansing State Journal about lowering energy costs. "We cut unnecessary regulations that limited production of reliable energy sources like oil and natural gas," Barrett wrote. | 25 | 0 | Representative Tom Barrett demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. In a press release, Barrett praised the One Big Beautiful Bill, especially praising its fast tracking of fossil fuel production, while speaking at oil facility. "We’re finally restoring American energy dominance and opening up the free market to encourage more competition, innovation, and energy production here at home. From lowering energy prices to eliminating tax on overtime for hard workers in the energy sector, the One Big Beautiful Bill is all about lowering costs for working families," stated Barrett. He also boasted of voting for the Protecting American Energy Production Act which "safeguard[s] American oil and natural gas production by preventing any president from unilaterally imposing a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing without congressional approval," according to a press release from his office. In 2023, Barrett wrote in a tweet: "In the Trump Administration, the U.S. was the largest producer of oil in the world. Today, the @JoeBiden Admin is punishing working class families by cutting production and raising prices. We can do better." | 0 | Representative Tom Barrett has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 18.75 | https://www.reddit.com/r/Michigan/comments/1j64nww/response_from_tom_barrett_mi7/

| Baumgartner, Michael | Washington | 5 | R | Representative Michael Baumgartner disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. According to Komo News, at a debate, Baumgartner said "it is clear" that climate change is happening but it was unclear whether it was caused by mankind. He also opposes climate action, calling for Europe to "stop climate extremism" in a tweet from 2026. | 0 | 0 | Representative Baumgartner opposes climate action. In 2026, he asked Washington state leaders to halt the Climate Commitment Act (CCA). "Washingtonians are not just paying the price for Iran’s rogue behavior; they are paying a heavy premium driven by state policy... This climate change surcharge is little more than a vanity project designed to make people in downtown Seattle feel good about themselves, while severely penalizing working people across the rest of the state," said Baumgartner.

| Beatty, Joyce | Ohio | 3 | D | Congresswoman Joyce Beatty understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congresswoman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "The consensus view of scientists about the impact that climate change poses to our planet is alarming. Rising temperatures are projected to devastate many of our planet’s precious ecosystems, increase coastal flooding to dangerous levels, disrupt our food systems, and increase extreme weather occurrences. These science-backed facts are why I support taking bold steps to invest in federal programs to address climate change, prevent spending cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), fully enforce the Clean Air Act, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, minimize our reliance on fossil fuels, and promote energy efficiency and conservation. I also support the Paris Climate Agreement and believe the United States should remain a full partner in the international effort to address climate change." | 100 | 100 | In a 2017 tweet opposing President Trump's withdrawal from the agreement, she stated, "1. Syria. 2. Nicaragua 3. USA. The ONLY three countries to reject #ParisAccord. Talk about a list you don't want to be on! #ActOnClimate." Rep. Beatty in a press release opposed the Keystone Pipeline for climate reasons, stating, "We should focus on developing domestically produced energy as we transition away from energy sources that cause irreparable climate change and fail to create meaningful American jobs.” Congresswoman Betty's website and position papers advocate for climate action, but not as a top priority issue. | 75 | Congresswoman Beatty has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Begich III, Nick | Alaska | 1 | R | Representative Nick Begich disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In an interview with the Alaska Beacon, Begich claimed that "Alaska faces minimal risk from climate-change-driven refugees. First, asylum claims do not cover those displaced by changes in the climate. Second, the idea that climate change will cause significant refugee movements directly to Alaska hasn’t been supported by the migration patterns of the more than 10 million migrants who have entered the nation over the past several years. While addressing the impact of a changing climate is important, framing the possibility of a climate refugee crisis specifically impacting Alaska does not seem likely." Further, at a gas industry forum, Begich stated “We look at how the left in this country has weaponized what I’m going to call the carbon lie, or the carbon economy, right? And they’ve weaponized it against everyone in this room... They’re trying to use these methodologies to shut us down.” In 2024, he tweeted: "One thing has been shown to be consistently true about dire climate predictions: they’ve all been wrong. A person could make a fortune by simply betting against climate alarmists." | 0 | 0 | Representative Begich is an opponent of climate action and promotes fossil fuel usage. In an op-ed, Begich argued for the expansion LNG and praised President Trump for loosening regulations. He writes that "Energy development in Alaska is no longer a domestic issue. It’s a powerful negotiating tool and one that we must wield wisely. By exporting LNG to our allies, we reduce their dependence on authoritarian regimes. By investing in projects like Alaska LNG, we create good-paying jobs at home and balance our trade relationships abroad. By reminding the world that Alaska is ready to lead, we send a clear message: American energy is back and it starts in the Last Frontier." Furthermore, in a 2025 tweet, he wrote: "Joe Biden is a son of a bitch. Hundreds of thousands of Alaskans rely on natural gas from the Cook Inlet to heat and electrify their homes, churches, schools, and workplaces. Actions like this should serve as a permanent reminder that the Democrat machine is more than happy to sacrifice us all in the name of their sanctimonious, socialist-driven, climate science™ religion." Representative Nick Begich demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Representative Nick Begich makes public statements or advocates against putting a U.S. fee on carbon. In a tweet, he stated "THE CLIMATE TAX. The COP28 Summit just wrapped up in Dubai, and the conclusion of the so called experts is that they need 2.8 Trillion dollars in new taxes every year to support a “just transition” away from traditional energy sources. How will this be funded? Conference leaders suggested a new global tax on all financial transactions, a tax when oil and gas is transported, and even a global travel tax! Let’s get real. Abandoning traditional energy, including nuclear, is the path to a diminished standard of living for everyone. The world needs affordable energy, and Alaskans deserve the way of life that comes with it. In Congress, I’ll push back against the green mafia, fight for Alaska’s working families, and work to keep our resource economy growing." | 0 | 0 | https://alaskabeacon.com/race-details/u-s-house-of-representatives-candidates-election-2024/

| Bell, Wesley | Missouri | 1 | D | Representative Wesley Bell understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On his campaign website, he writes: "Climate change is a crisis, and here in Missouri, the effects are already making an impact on our way of life and the safety of our most vulnerable communities, from extreme weather events to deteriorating air and water quality." In 2024, he posted multiple tweets underscoring his position on climate change. "Missourians, like millions of Americans across the country, have been feeling the heat — literally. We must continue tackling the climate crisis, which is resulting in more intense heat waves and causing harm to our health as well as our infrastructure," he wrote.

We are taking steps in the right direction, but the clock keeps ticking." | 100 | 100 | Representative Wesley Bell has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. On his congressional website, he writes: "Climate change and energy affordability directly impact Missouri families, infrastructure, and public health... Congressman Bell supports: Lowering household energy costs, Expanding clean energy investment, Environmental remediation, Disaster resilience and preparedness, Modernizing infrastructure." Representative Wesley Bell also makes prominent public statements on the issue. On Twitter in 2025, he wrote: "The Trump administration’s plan to slash NOAA’s climate research by 75% is extremely dangerous for Missouri. We depend on NOAA for accurate flood forecasts, tornado warnings, and climate data that safeguard our communities and support our agriculture. I stand firmly against these reckless cuts and will fight to protect the vital services that keep our state safe and informed." Furthermore, Bell joined over 100 lawmakers in demanding President Trump and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum immediately cease any plans to open new offshore oil and gas leases in U.S. federal waters off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, in the Arctic Ocean and northern Bering Sea off of Alaska, and in the Eastern Gulf. | 100 | Representative Wesley Bell has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 87.5 | https://www.bell4mo.com/issues/

On Congressman Bera's, 'Environment and Agriculture,' page, it states, "We must address the grave threat that climate change poses to our state of California and to future generations. The vast majority of qualified scientists agree that the data on climate change is clear. The evidence shows climate change is making our drought worse and could lead to future droughts.

It could also mean more out-of-control forest fires and more dangerous storms, affecting our country’s agriculture and infrastructure." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Ami Bera has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In 2019 Congressman Bera co-wrote an op-ed with Congresswoman Kim Schrier (D-WA), stating, "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."

| Bonamici, Suzanne | Oregon | 1 | D | Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congresswoman's, 'Energy and Environment,' it states, "In Northwest Oregon, we are facing the challenges of our inaction on climate change, whether it be more acidic oceans, rising sea levels, raging wildfires, changing agricultural conditions, and extreme weather events. Climate change and pollution also disproportionately affect our most vulnerable, and we must do more to protect the public of health of our communities. It is past time for Congress and the country to take action and address the growing threat of climate change and protect our environment. The United States has the ability and the obligation to lead the world’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and our dependence on fossil fuels, and transition to 100% clean energy. I will continue to work with my colleagues to implement adaptation and mitigation strategies as we fight to take meaningful action on climate change." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Bonamici has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. During a 2019 Congressional hearing, the Congresswoman questioned Energy Secretary Rick Perry about the Department’s inaction on climate change and efforts to withhold federal funding for clean energy research and development, stating, "Climate change is an existential threat, and it requires the full attention of the federal government.” The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. As a member of the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, the Congresswoman helped release the committee's climate action plan, stating in a press release, "Our committee was charged with crafting a bold, science-based, comprehensive climate action plan to address the climate crisis and reach net-zero emissions no later than mid-century and net-negative thereafter." We included a focus on the needs of frontline communities, opportunities to accelerate our transition to a 100 percent clean energy economy, and ways to create good-paying jobs." Rep.

| Bynum, Janelle | Oregon | 5 | D | Representative Janelle Bynum understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On her congressional website, she writes: "Climate change poses an existential threat to our environment, economy, and way of life. Congresswoman Bynum is committed to supporting science-based policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, invest in clean energy, and build infrastructure to withstand the increasing frequency of natural disasters." Similarly, she stated on her campaign website: "The effects of climate change are felt close to home with brutal summers and the threat of wildfires year-round. Janelle knows it’s critical to tackle the climate crisis right away – for our environment, for our health, and for our economy. She is supporting efforts to generate more clean energy – which creates good jobs – transition away from fossil fuels, and protect our communities, property, and land from wildfires." | 100 | 100 | Representative Bynum believes climate action is necessary, but often prioritizes other issues, like the economy and affordability. However, she did sign on to a letter with other representatives from Oregon calling for President Trump to rescind his executive order banning states from engaging in climate deception lawsuits that attempt to hold oil companies accountable. "As members of Oregon’s congressional delegation, we will not stand idly by while this Administration attempts to undercut efforts to combat climate chaos. Oregon has experienced the devastation of the climate crisis, including increased catastrophic wildfires and the deadly Pacific Northwest heat dome. Extreme weather events are already harming households across the country, and the impacts are only going to get worse. Trillions of dollars will be needed for our country to adapt to the climate future, as well as to help people rebuild in the face of natural disasters. The question is who is going to be responsible for paying those costs: taxpayers, or the oil and gas companies that have profited from the crisis?" the letter stated. While running for congress, she said: "As a rapidly growing community, responsible development is reliant on our efforts, as leaders, to address climate change quickly while ensuring that our economies are able to continue to grow and adapt to a changing climate... We know that climate change also disproportionately impacts underserved communities... It is important that we not only protect our environment, but that we create an economy that builds green infrastructure."

| Carbajal, Salud | California | 24 | D | Congressman Salud Carbajal understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "Having raised my children on the Central Coast, I understand the importance that environmental preservation and energy efficiency has for our community. The Central Coast is already experiencing major climate change impacts like wildfires and drought. We can save lives, property, and money when we work to proactively mitigate these increasingly destructive events. I believe we cannot afford inaction on the most significant challenge of our time." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Carbajal has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. In 2018 the Congressman introduced the, Climate Change is Real Act (H.R.5552) which would have required EPA to reinstate the information about climate change that was removed from, or redacted on, the EPA's website during the period beginning on January 20, 2017." The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 press release introducing the Coastal State Climate Preparedness Act (H.R. 3541), the Congressman stated, “Climate change is real and we cannot wait another minute to tackle the problem from every angle. My Coastal State Climate Preparedness Act will help communities across the nation, especially ones like our Central Coast, that are vulnerable to climate disasters and need more help on the front lines of this crisis." Rep Carbajal makes climate change a top priority issue. From a June 2020 press release, "On Tuesday, the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis unveiled a comprehensive congressional climate action framework, which includes two of Congressman Carbajal’s bills: H.R. 2470, the Clean Water Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Act and H.R. 2199, the Central Coast Heritage Protection Act.The Clean Water Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Act, establishes a competitive funding program at the Environmental Protection Agency for the development of innovative water-related infrastructure projects built with the threats of climate change in mind.In addition, the Central Coast Heritage Protection Act designates four new wilderness areas in the Carrizo Plain National Monument and expands nine existing wilderness areas in Los Padres National Forest. The wilderness designation is the highest form of protection the government can give to a public land and would prohibit any commercial development on the land, including oil and gas drilling." | 100 | Congressman Carbajal 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. Rep. Carbajal is also a co-sponsor of the 'MARKET CHOICE Act' (H.R.4520), legislation that intends to "(impose) a tax on the greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuels, certain industrial processes, and certain product uses." 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://carbajal.house.gov/issues/issue/?IssueID=15122

| Carson, André | Indiana | 7 | D | The Congressman understands the importance of climate action but not as a top priority issue. In an interview with Fox 59, condemning President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, the Congressman stated, "I am deeply disappointed... It's disappointing because we have seen rising tides, globally... And next to China, America has the highest emission rates. So for us not to be an active player along with our global partners in addressing this issue is deeply disappointing." Climate change is not listed under the 'Issues' section of his website. Even on his 'Energy' page, there is no mention of the issue. | 75 | 100 | Congressman Carson in a 2019 Facebook post supporting the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9) the Congressman stated, "America has a moral obligation to lead on the global effort to stop #ClimateChange, which is harming our environment, our economy and public health in Indiana, across America and around the world -- particularly in low-income communities bearing the brunt of its negative effects. That's why it's imperative we pass H.R. 9, which helps create a clean energy economy that provides good-paying jobs, cleaner air for our children and a safer climate for future generations. I'll proudly vote for it when it comes to the House floor this week. #ClimateActionNow." Despite this, the Congressman supports an all of the above approach to energy, stating "Tackling our nation’s energy crisis will require a broad and comprehensive strategy that includes pursuing all forms of energy including wind, solar, nuclear, biofuels and coal." | 75 | Congressman Carson 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 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 86). The Congressman co-sponsored the 2017 version of the America Wins Act (H.R. 4209), which would impose an excise tax on the carbon dioxide content of coal, petroleum, and petroleum products, but did not co-sponsor the 2019 version of the bill. | 100 | 87.5 | http://fox59.com/2017/06/04/in-focus-carson-on-climate-change-comey-hearing-next-week/

| Carter, John | Texas | 31 | R | Congressman John Carter disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In an op-ed titled, "The Return of the Warmers," he states, "They were thoroughly discredited just last year in the international "Climategate" scandal. The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and their pals from the East Anglia Climatic Research Unit in Great Britain were caught red-handed, through their own email communications, to have intentionally falsified the scientific data on which they claim that human activity is a leading cause of global warming. Further, they were found to have hidden their own research results that showed world temperature not rising, but actually falling over the past several years. The truth they tried to conceal from the world is that global temperature fluctuations are a normal earth cycle. We may or may not even be in a warming cycle. Even if we are, scientific evidence does not conclude that activity by man plays any significant role. The reason for the lies is because the goal of these people is not to protect the environment, it is to implement a socialistic one-world government that has dictatorial control over every human activity, led by tyrannical liberal elites." | 0 | 0 | On Congressman Carter's, 'Energy,' page, it states, "I believe in an 'all of the above' energy strategy...while maximizing our use of domestic fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) that will allow us to plan for our future needs while providing enough energy for today. While doing this we must also unlock new oil supplies. As US oil prices decrease, I will continue to fight against per-barrel or at-pump taxes that hit Texans in their wallets. These proposals negatively affect successful free markets and continue a trend that promotes the flawed notion that the federal government knows how to spend your money better than you." Congressman Carter demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Carter voted in favor of a 2024 resolution by Rep.

However, he "embraced Biden’s priorities on addressing climate change and pledged not to accept money from oil and gas interests." | 75 | 100 | Congressman Carter does not oppose climate action. He has voted for many significant pieces of climate legislation, but does not display leadership by pushing for more climate action. Additionally, although he pledged to not take any money from oil and gas special interest groups, he "accepted $19,150 from oil and gas interests despite a campaign pledge to shun the industry's money, a national environmental nonprofit says." | 25 | Congressman Carter has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Casar, Greg | Texas | 37 | D | Congressman Casar understands the importance of action on climate change as a top priority issue. Casar's official campaign website, it states, "Our planet is burning, flooding, and freezing all at the same time. Fighting the climate crisis must be a top priority for every country in the world. We can create good paying-union jobs while we become the global leader in renewable energy." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Casar has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action.

Our country can and must take care of everyone along the way — from children to seniors to fossil fuel workers." In August 2023, the Congressman participated in a thirst strike on the steps of Capitol during a heat wave in order to protest workers' rights violations and pressure for climate action. | 100 | Congressman Casar has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Casten, Sean | Illinois | 6 | D | Congressman Sean Casten understands the importance of climate action but not as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Climate Change,' page, it states, "A former CEO of a clean energy company, Representative Casten has worked throughout his career to reduce greenhouse gas emissions profitably. In Congress, he is continuing this mission. The cost of inaction is enormous, but Representative Casten recognizes that addressing climate change is an opportunity to invest in the energy infrastructure of tomorrow, making our businesses more productive and our economy more competitive globally. " | 100 | 100 | Congressman Casten has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a press release co-sponsoring the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9), the Congressman stated, "Climate change is the greatest existential threat to our species. It is also an unequivocal economic opportunity." The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2020 article in the Northwest Herald, the Congressman stated, "The reason I’m in this job is because I am deeply concerned about climate change and the fact that that was a priority in my prior professional career, doesn’t mean it stops being a priority once I got into this line of work.” Congressman Casten makes climate change a top priority issue. Rep. Casten, along with Congressman Mike Doyle, announced the 'Industrial Efficiency Incentive Act,' legislation that will not only "reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial sector and maximize the energy efficiency of industrial facilities in the United States, but it will also make these facilities more financially viable and lower their energy costs." | 100 | The Congressman has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. In a 2019 tweet, on market mechanisms for reducing carbon emissions, the Congressman stated, "True, but important to note that an INCENTIVE [cap and trade] to reduce carbon is not the same as a PENALTY [carbon fee] to emit it. The incentive is much more important than the penalty and they are decidedly not equivalent, no matter how many academic economists may tell you otherwise." However, Rep. Casten voted against a 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con.

The Congresswoman introduced the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9), stating in a 2019 press release, "Speaking as a Floridian who boarded up and fled my home with my family as Hurricane Irma spun its destructive winds and storm surge towards my hometown a year and a half ago, I understand we must act with urgency on the climate crisis.” The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. As the Chairwoman of the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, she released the "Solving the Climate Crisis” plan, stating in a 2020 WMNF article, "We are releasing a transformative roadmap for solving the climate crisis. We have a plan for building the 100% clean energy economy. And we are going to do it in an equitable and inclusive way. Our task is urgent. The last five years are the hottest on record. And it’s getting hotter." Rep. Castor makes climate change a top priority issue. During 2019 Hispanic Heritage Month, the Congresswoman rallied with the Sierra Club, Green Latinos, and Mom's Clean Task Force, stating, "Combating climate change means enacting solutions that work for all of us. Those who are most impacted by our rapidly changing climate are our frontline communities who can’t afford flood insurance, families who can’t pay higher electric bills or those who don’t have places to turn when disaster strikes." | 100 | Congresswoman Castor has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

In a 2019 press release celebrating Earth Day, the Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said, "As we mark this Earth Day, I am hopeful of a better future for our children. While the Trump Administration has abdicated our global leadership on climate issues and rolled back critical environmental protections, local leaders and everyday Americans are doing their part to fight climate change and protect our land and water. Hispanic families and communities of color – who are disproportionately impacted by pollution and climate change – are working to combat environmental injustice and ensure their children can live healthy lives away from pollution...The time to act is now." In a 2021 'Twitter' post, the Congressman stated, "Climate change is the defining crisis of our time — and its disruptive impacts are displacing people worldwide.” | 100 | 100 | Congressman Castro’s website and position papers advocate for climate action as a top priority issue. In an Earth Day Press Release, Congressman Castro said "The time to act is now. We must invest in an Infrastructure of Opportunity for our children to succeed.

By investing in renewable energy and protecting our natural wonders, we can address climate change while modernizing our economy. I am committed to taking aggressive action to reverse the effects of climate change. That is why I am committed to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, promoting policies that keep our air and water clean, supporting a marketplace where green energy technologies and jobs can thrive, protecting our environment through conservation, and connecting communities to the outdoors." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Chu has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. She 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." The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on climate change.

In 2024, he wrote in a tweet: "Thankful for the courage and dedication of Cal Fire and all of the first responders who are handling the wildfire in the San Gabriel Mountains. We must get serious about climate change to prevent further harm to our environment and daily lives." On his campaign website he writes that he "understands the need for urgent action to protect our communities from climate disasters and supports legislation that invests in infrastructure that supports clean energy, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and ensures a sustainable future for our planet." | 100 | 100 | In 2025, Representative Cisneros signed a letter to the EPA calling on the agency to maintain its Endangerment Finding for greenhouse gases. The Endangerment Finding, signed in 2009, establishes that greenhouse gas emissions are a main driver of climate pollution, acknowledges the dangers of climate change, and is the legal foundation that allows the EPA to fulfill its mission to protect human health and the environment. In 2019, when asked about finding bipartisan solution to climate change in congress, Cisneros replied "I think eventually. That’s a slow process. There have been some Republicans who have started to acknowledge that climate change is a problem. I was co-sponsor on a resolution that passed in congress to re-enter the Paris Climate Accords. I am part of the Sustainable Energy Environment Caucus, and a member of the Environmental Justice Caucus." However, Cisneros purchased tens of thousands of dollars worth of Exxon Mobil and Chevron stock in 2026. Representative Gil Cisneros does not oppose climate action. | 25 | Representative Gil Cisneros supports a U.S. fee on carbon but does not advocate for it. While in congrees the first time in 2019, he was a cosponsor on the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, which proposed a "fee on the carbon content of fuels, including crude oil, natural gas, coal, or any other product derived from those fuels that will be used so as to emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere." | 75 | 75 | https://x.com/gilsonthehill/status/1833300298804388153

| 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. That’s why @TheBlackCaucus is working hard to ensure these communities are protected from the consequences that will come with a warming climate." Rep. Cleaver makes climate change a top priority issue. As chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on National Security, International Development, and Monetary Policy, the Congressman held a hearing on how Climate Change is already impacting America’s economy and national security, as well as the extraordinary costs that are expected to arise as the planet’s climate continues to warm. | 100 | Congressman Cleaver publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Cline, Ben | Virginia | 6 | R | Congressman Ben Cline disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. According to a 2020 News Leader article, "Cline also referenced the world stage when discussing climate change, a topic that constituents brought up several times. He agreed that humans contribute to climate change but disputed with the crowd how much was due to manmade reasons." | 0 | 0 | In a 2019 Weekly Newsletter posted on Congressman Cline's website, he wrote about energy independence, stating, "In my remarks against this legislation on the House Floor, I spoke about my visit earlier this spring to the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana, where I was able to see firsthand the great strides that have been made in energy exploration, technology, and innovation. The amazing developments in ensuring that energy resources can be explored and extracted safely, with minimal impact to our environment, demonstrated to me that similar efforts can be achieved back home in the waters off the coast of Virginia. These new developments would ensure that our environmentally sensitive areas can be protected for future generations while we lower energy costs for residents and businesses across the Commonwealth."

In an interview with Right Voices, Cloud said "It’s crazy because a lot of the supposed stated initiatives of the Left, especially with Green New Deal-type policies, are having a reversed effect than the goals that they’re meant to have." He later questioned the value of national climate legislation, saying "If there is a climate emergency, it’s not a national one–it’s not like the environment stops at our borders— it’s a global one so we’ve got to look at a larger perspective on these sorts of things.

On his website, the Congressman states, "While I believe climate change is real and needs to be addressed, it should be done in such a way that is collaborative with Congress and results in internationally equitable terms." | 50 | 0 | Congressman Cole supported President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, stating, "Paris, on the other hand, was negotiated by President Obama in a way that was clearly in the best interest of China, India, and Europe. His agreement forced the United States to make sharper reductions in our greenhouse emissions than our European allies, it committed the United States to picking up far more than our fair share of the expenses associated with compliance, and it allowed China and India to actually increase their emissions until 2030." In addition, Rep. Cole opposed funding for the study of climate change by the Central Intelligence Agency, stating in a press release that, "I believe that common sense solutions that promote clean air and water are very important. But I do not believe that our nation's intelligence dollars should be redirected from gathering information that has kept our country safe from another attack to studying climate change."

| Courtney, Joe | Connecticut | 2 | D | Congressman Joe Courtney understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a 2017 press release condemning the President's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, the Congressman stated, "The United States is the second largest carbon emitter in the world, and the Paris Climate Accord proved that our nation, and the global community as a whole, has recognized that a zero-emissions, clean energy economy is the only path forward for a sustainable, sound future. In Connecticut, we’ve taken this to heart: over half of all electric power generation jobs are in the solar sector—more than natural gas or any other fuel. These jobs are not only going to dominate our economy in the future – they are already a major part of our economy today. Turning our back on the Paris Climate Accord leaves our nation without a seat at the table as the world determines climate and clean energy policies, raises troubling questions about whether our nation stands by its commitments, and undermines states like Connecticut that have longstanding commitments to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.” | 100 | 100 | In a 2017 tweet, Congressman Joe Courtney referred to a video melting arctic ice since 1979, writing, "Check out how much Arctic ice has melted since 1979.

| Crane, Eli | Arizona | 2 | R | Representative Crane disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In an interview, Crane said "It does feel like things are getting warmer. It does feel like things are getting drier, but that could be because I'm getting older [...] Climate change could play a role in that but think the earth goes through cycles." | 0 | 0 | In 2023, Representative Crane signed onto a letter encouraging the EPA to reconsider air quality standards for Arizona. Rep. Crane has cosponsored bills such as the No American Climate Corps Act (H.R.6215) and Preventing Executive Climate Overreach Act (H.R.3256). Representative Crane demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Crane opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.

In a tweet from 2022 he wrote: "Sorry Timmy. Earth was warmer during the time of Christ than it is now. Was that from carbon emissions? Climate change is your extremist religion." | 0 | 0 | According to a press release, Representative Crank wrote a letter to the House Appropriations Committee saying that any legislation passed to address California wildfires should "include provisions repealing the California Air Review Board’s (CARB) Clean Air Act (CAA) waivers granted under the Biden Administration that the state has used to prioritize harmful climate policies over responsible wildfire management." When asked by Colorado Public Radio about oil and gas production on public lands, Crank replied: "The federal government should loosen restrictions on oil and gas production on public lands... Public lands are not public so they can be locked away only to be used by certain members of the public. They are to be used for the public good and the energy industry proves every day that they can extract oil and natural gas from the earth in an environmentally friendly way." Representative Jeff Crank demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Representative Jeff Crank has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Crawford, Rick | Arkansas | 1 | R | Congressman Rick Crawford disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a 2024 press release, the Congressman stated “Earth Day is a nice concept, but in practice it typically turns into an annual bashing of humans as spoiling the planet, with bigger government, higher taxes, and less freedom for Americans being the alleged solutions." According to a 2013 article in Talk Business & Politics the Congressman stated, "There's not sound science to support some of the initiatives that the President, I think, is committed to [...] supported by scientific data, but more supported by political agendas." | 0 | 0 | Congressman Crawford demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. In a 2017 interview with KUAF Morning Edition the Congressman when asked about the Paris Agreement stated, "President Obama did not have the authority to commit the United States to the Paris Accord... If this is a non-binding agreement what's the point of being apart of it...Other nations want us to do everything to fix the environment and don't want to participate at the same level that we do." In January 2021, the Congressman states in a tweet that "I’ve always supported an “all-the-above” energy approach because we have to ensure availability of energy and it’s affordability. This first action of cancelling #KeystoneXL will start to reduce available sources of energy, and with it, affordable energy..." Crawford furthermore has a poor voting history with climate action legislation, receiving a lifetime score of 4% from the LCV. | 0 | Congressman Crawford opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Crow, Jason | Colorado | 6 | D | Congressman Jason Crow understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's campaign website, it states, "Climate change is a severe threat to the planet, people, and our nation. Congress must act to reduce carbon pollution and other emissions to protect against further impacts of climate change, but it must also work to help communities adapt to an already changing climate. It is essential that Congress act to address climate change because, as we have seen, presidential action alone may be undone quickly under a future administration." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Crow has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In 2019 the Congressman hosted a forum on the impact of climate change on public health, stating in a press release, "Community conversations like this are vital to finding solutions to the threats that climate change poses. It’s time for Congress to lead on climate change and pass legislation that will protect our communities and children.” Congressman Crow also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 press release announcing a provision to the National Defense Authorization Act, which would require large military installations to include assessments of climate change and mitigation efforts in their master plans, the Congressman stated, "Our military has seen firsthand the impact of climate change on national security and the first step of countering any threat is to create a baseline understanding of what we’re up against. My provision will ensure we understand the threat so we can improve our military's resiliency to global warming and the dangerous impacts of extreme weather.” Rep. Crow makes climate change a top priority issue. In a 2020 Facebook post, supporting the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9) the Congressman wrote, "Climate change is affecting extreme weather events, public health, and our national security. It’s time for America to be a global leader and work to address climate change and reduce our carbon footprint. We need #ClimateActionNow." | 100 | Congressman Crow 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. The Congressman voted against a 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H.Con.Res.87). | 100 | 100 | https://jasoncrowforcongress.com/environment-and-energy-policy-for-americas-future/

| Cuellar, Henry | Texas | 28 | D | Congressman Henry Cuellar agrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a press release supporting the Natural Gas (LEADING) Act of 2019 (H.R. 3828), the Congressman stated, "We need an economically sensible solution to reducing greenhouse emissions and fighting climate change in the United States. Carbon capture has been shown to be the best way to properly mitigate the effects of climate change, create more reliable, affordable energy, and increase economic growth." Vote Climate U.S. PAC supports several forms of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), not including carbon capture and sequestration, because we believe that method perpetuates the fossil fuel economy. It is not clear what form of CDR the Congressman is referring to here. | 50 | 0 | Congressman Cuellar's website's 'Energy and Environment' page does not mention climate change. Instead it says, "The 28th Congressional District of Texas, is both the 6th largest oil producing and 4th largest natural gas producing district in the state. It includes a large portion of the Eagle Ford Shale reserves; one of the most productive natural gas fields in the country. In order to support this production, last year, Congressmen Cuellar helped secure $13 million in federal funding towards the Corpus Christi Ship Channel Improvement Project (CIP). CIP is a USACE project to expand the Port’s ship channels, allowing vessels to navigate the channel safely, meeting surging global demand for U.S. produced oil and natural gas. The Port of Corpus Christi is the largest export port of U.S. produced crude oil and is a major export hub for U.S. energy products." Congressman Cuellar demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements supporting the fossil fuel industry. | 0 | Congressman Cuellar voted in favor of a 2024 resolution by Rep.

| DeSaulnier, Mark | California | 10 | D | Congressman Mark DeSaulnier understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On his 'Energy and the Environment' page, he writes, "Congressman DeSaulnier recognizes climate change for the existential threat that it is and, beginning with his time as a member of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), he has been a proud champion of policies that promote sustainability, protect the environment, and mitigate the harmful effects of climate change. He is a firm believer that the challenges of climate change also present enormous opportunity and strong, forward-looking energy and environmental policy will be a key driver of growth, innovation, and competitiveness. While fueling economic growth, rigorous environmental protections will protect the health of all Californians." | 100 | 100 | Congressman DeSaulnier has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. In a 2021 press release, the Congressman introduced the 'Jobs for a Carbon Free Transportation System Act' (H.R. 5896), "landmark legislation to help transition our economy off fossil fuels to cleaner, renewable energy while simultaneously supporting workers, communities, and state and local governments." Congressman DeSaulnier also makes prominent public statements on the issue. According to a 2019 Lamorinda Weekly article, the Congressman hosted a climate change town hall, where he stated, "The costs of not responding to climate change must be approached from an economic standpoint. We must not weaken our goals to slow down climate change, but aspire to save the planet for future generations." Rep. DeSaulnier makes climate change a top priority issue. He 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 | Congressman DeSaulnier publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. In a 2018 version of the DeSaulnier's Digest, regarding the anti-carbon tax resolution in the U.S. House, the Congressman stated, “A carbon tax has the potential to be an important tool for fighting climate change, and the Republican resolution is counterproductive." 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.

| DesJarlais, Scott | Tennessee | 4 | R | Congressman Scott DesJarlais does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. | 25 | 0 | Congressman DesJarlais demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. On the Congressman's website's 'Energy and Infrastructure section, DesJarlais states, "In Congress, I have voted to permit new pipeline construction, authorize international gas exports, and protect dependable energy, such as coal and nuclear, so important to Tennessee. Supplying our allies with American-made energy helps cement alliances." In a press release with other House Republicans, DesJarlais said "Domestic energy, manufacturing jobs, economic growth and optimism are finally returning because of tax cuts and lighter regulation. We cannot allow an extreme, far-left agenda to destroy the progress this country is making.” | 0 | Congressman DesJarlais opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Dexter, Maxine | Oregon | 3 | D | Representative Maxine Dexter understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On Twitter, she wrote: "The climate crisis is fueling an onslaught of dirty air, and it's making our communities sick. As the first and only lung doctor in Congress, I know we can't separate climate policy from public health. The climate crisis is a public health emergency." On Dexter's congressional website, she states: "The climate crisis is an existential threat. Oregonians know all too well how climate-fueled disasters can wreak havoc on our communities, from deadly wildfires to extreme freezes." | 100 | 100 | Representative Maxine Dexter has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In Congress, she introduced a bill that would require the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to declare climate change a public health emergency. "As a mother, I’ve seen the escalating anxiety my children have lived with and internalized as they grow up on an increasingly unlivable planet... Every child deserves clean air, clean water, and the promise of a safe future. The climate crisis is not a distant threat—it’s a public health emergency, and it demands a full-scale, whole-of-government response. The first step is telling the truth about what we’re facing," Dexter said in a press release announcing the bill. Representative Maxine Dexter also makes prominent public statements on the issue. On her campaign website, she laid out her plans to fight climate change, including: "Pass a Green New Deal to create more high-quality, good-paying jobs for Oregonians. Transition to 100% clean electricity nationwide to decarbonize our economy. Invest immediately in the development of 'smart' transmission grids, especially in areas where renewable energy is being created to move green energy to places where it’s needed... Rapidly expand the availability of electric vehicle charging stations. Ban new development of fossil fuel infrastructure both on public lands and offshore." Furthermore, Dexter strongly opposed the rescission of the EPA's greenhouse gas endangerment finding, saying: "The endangerment finding is basically saying that these greenhouse gases that were named in this settlement impact people’s health. They endanger their health. And based upon that, we can regulate greenhouse gas emissions, even though it’s not the particulate matter, soot, that used to be what was regulated. Taking that away eliminates most of the enforcement that we can have on industry, polluters across this nation. It is the largest sweeping undermining of environmental protection law that has ever happened in this country." Representative Maxine Dexter makes climate change a top priority issue. | 100 | Representative Maxine Dexter has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 87.5 | https://x.com/RepDexterOR/status/2078116520467599855

| Diaz-Balart, Mario | Florida | 26 | R | Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. According to a 2017 E&E article, when asked about climate change, the Congressman stated, "It's more of a religion... on both sides of the issue. I don't play that game. My issue is, 'All right, what is the problem that you're trying to solve?' and 'Does it solve it?'" | 0 | 0 | Congressman Diaz-Balart was an advocate of the Keystone XL pipeline, stating, "The House has once again acted on a bipartisan basis to pass legislation to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline, which will create thousands of jobs, move the United States closer to energy independence and strengthen our national security. This project will contribute billions of dollars to communities across the nation and bolster our economy." In a 2023 press conference, Diaz-Balart said that "there simply is no justification for spending billions more on a failing, inflated, and economically harmful climate change agenda led by clueless bureaucrats at the United Nations.” Congressman Diaz-Balart demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Diaz-Balart opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Dingell, Debbie | Michigan | 6 | D | Congresswoman Dingell understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On her 'Environment & Climate Change' page, the Congresswoman said "For decades, the science and our understanding of climate change has been growing, but it is clear, it is an urgent, existential threat we all face. Sea levels are rising, temperatures are warming, and extreme weather is intensifying and becoming more frequent. The time to act on climate change is now and strong US leadership on the world’s stage is needed." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Dingell 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, "The time is now – not tomorrow, not next year – to address climate change. The Paris Agreement takes real steps to slow down our changing climate and ensures the United States stays a leader in addressing one of our most critical global threats,” Rep. Dingell also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 speech on the House floor, the Congresswoman stated, "Weather events are getting more severe. Hurricanes and wildfires cause more damage each year, and extreme cold and heat waves more common. Climate change is changing the world around us causing mass displacement and global health crises caused by continuing sea-level rise and increasing annual temperatures." Rep. Dingell makes climate change a top priority issue. In December 2019, the Congresswoman introduced The National Climate Bank Act of 2019, which would publicly finance and stimulate private investment in clean, renewable energy and emissions reduction projects. | 100 | Congresswoman Dingell has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Downing, Troy | Montana | 2 | R | Representative Troy Downing does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. He does not say whether or not he believes in climate change, but he is a staunch advocate for the fossil fuel industry, and in particular, coal. On his website, he writes that he "support[s] an all-of-the-above energy approach, but fossil fuels are an abundant and cost-efficient energy source. Coal-fired power plants provide the largest share of electricity generation in Montana. Reliable and cheap energy means more money in the pockets of hardworking Montanans." In 2025, Downing even brought a piece of coal to the white house, writing on Twitter: "President Trump brought coal to the @WhiteHouse and so did I! Pulled this out of the ground myself at Signal Peak two weeks ago." | 25 | 0 | Representative Troy Downing demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. Representative Downing introduced a resolution disapproving and removing the Bureau of Land Management’s 2024 Miles City Resource Management Plan Amendment (RMPA). In a press release, he said: "Montana’s Second Congressional District keeps the lights on in the Treasure State... Under the Biden Administration, Montana energy production took a direct hit when an outright ban on coal leasing in the Powder River Basin went into effect. I’m proud to lead this CRA in the House to reverse this disastrous management plan amendment that threatens access to affordable, reliable energy and investment in the communities I represent." In response to the Department of Interior’s approval of the mining plan modification for the Bull Mountains coal mine, Downing said in a press release: "Since my first day in office, I have been fighting to protect Montana’s Beautiful Clean Coal industry... I applaud Secretary Burgum for taking swift action to unleash the Treasure State’s energy production and provide certainty for my constituents. Looking forward, I will continue to advocate for passage of the Crow Revenue Act to ensure Bull Mountains’ future is not left to the progressive whims of activist judges or future administrations." | 0 | Representative Troy Downing has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 18.75 | https://downing.house.gov/issues/energy

| Elfreth, Sarah | Maryland | 3 | D | Representative Sarah Elfreth understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In April of 2026, Elfreth posted on Facebook: "Since coming to Washington and the House Natural Resources Committee, I have fought for our planet, our Bay, and (of course) our blue crabs each and every day. I’m committed to working with my colleagues to protect our beautiful natural treasures, pass science-backed legislation, and tackle climate change head-on." On her website, she writes: "As the Vice Ranking Member of the Natural Resources Committee, Congresswoman Elfreth is determined to combat the climate crisis by leading meaningful action in environmental restoration and protection and moving America toward a clean energy economy." | 100 | 100 | Representative Sarah Elfreth has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. Elfreth vocally opposed FEMA cuts to grants for climate resilient infrastructure. "When we talk about government cuts to environmental programs, I will caution that rising seas don’t care who is in the White House. The water doesn’t care how a small town that experiences 90 days of flooding or more a year voted in the last election. Flooding will continue to devastate communities, even if the President does not believe in climate change," said Elfreth. Representative Sarah Elfreth also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In 2025, on Twitter she wrote: "In the midst of increasingly extreme weather events, the need for Environmental Protection Agency guidance is more important than ever. President Trump’s EPA is prioritizing the monetary gain of fossil fuels over the health and safety of our communities. The devastating effects of climate change can't be ignored, which is why I’ll continue to fight for environmental protection and preservation for #MD03 and beyond." She also joined other Maryland Democrats in writing a letter to the EPA to keep its 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding. The letter states: "We are deeply concerned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposal to eliminate the 2009 Endangerment Finding and what that will mean for Maryland and our constituents’ health and safety. The Endangerment Finding requires the EPA to protect people from the pollution that causes climate change. Denying the danger cannot change the facts: greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels are heating our planet and endangering us all."

| Escobar, Veronica | Texas | 16 | D | Congresswoman Veronica Escobar understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a January 2020 Tweet, the Congresswoman wrote, "Climate change is an urgent global crisis that demands a strong and swift response. As Congress continues to push for ambitious climate action, we must also ensure we harness foreign policy to combat this threat and protect our planet for future generations." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Escobar has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. According to the Congresswoman's website, she states, "I was proud to sponsor the Department of Defense Climate Resiliency and Readiness Act to ensure that one of the largest producers of greenhouse gasses prioritizes necessary developments in renewable technologies, builds on the success of NetZero pilots, and makes judicious use of taxpayer dollars. I also introduced the Targeting Environmental and Climate Recklessness Act (TECRA), to modernize the use of sanctions - a key foreign policy tool - to meet one of our most pressing global challenges: climate change." Congresswoman Escobar also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 Tweet, the Congresswoman wrote, "This is the consequence of climate change—and our shameful unwillingness to make the sacrifices and changes necessary to slow it down. Too late to stop it, but never too late to act to try to slow it down some. Oh, what tragedy our children have inherited." Rep. Escobar makes climate change a top priority issue.

Furthermore, Evans argues for an all of the above approach to energy, particularly focusing on Colorado's oil and gas production. In an op-ed, he writes "Colorado is the fourth largest oil-producing state, accounting for nearly 4% of U.S. crude, and the eighth largest natural gas producer, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

| Fedorchak, Julie | North Dakota | 1 | R | Representative Julie Fedorchak disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. During a 2025 virtual town hall, Fedorchak was asked if she believed in climate change. According to the Grand Forks Herald, Fedorchak replied that the climate "has been changing since the beginning of time," but acknowledged rising carbon dioxide emissions. The answer lies in policy that protects North Dakota's energy industries, like coal production, Fedorchak said. She is also a prominent supporter of continued fossil fuel use. In 2024, she tweeted: "Americans often take abundant energy resources for granted, but the industry is far from easy. Local companies in North Dakota’s oil and gas sector showcase the courage, innovation, and resourcefulness behind it all. Had great visits with WellPro, Chord, and GO Wireline this week." | 0 | 0 | Representative Fedorchak has consistently opposed climate action. Fedorchak joined House Republicans in passing three Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions to reverse Biden administration regulations on American energy production. In a press release, she stated: "These rules are yet another example of the Biden administration putting radical climate ideology ahead of American energy security, manufacturing jobs, and families trying to make ends meet... I voted to reverse this regulatory overreach and help lower costs, protect American jobs, and make sure our energy producers can power our country without unnecessary red tape." In a tweet, she wrote: "@HouseGOP is slamming the brakes on the Biden administration's dangerous and expensive energy agenda. Importantly, the One Big Beautiful Bill repeals over $500 BILLION in radical Green New Deal style spending." Fedorchak made her support for fossil fuels a large part of her campaign, saying on her website that she has supported "Standing up to the Obama Administration Over the Dakota Access Pipeline" and "Fighting Against Over-Regulation of the Coal Industry From the Biden Administration." In a speech addressing the North Dakota State House, Fedorchak said: "AI requires vast computing power, which means it requires abundant, reliable, and affordable energy. North Dakota should lead these efforts. We have more gas in the Bakken than we can use. Let’s turn it into electricity, power AI computing at sites near the gas source, and make more room in our pipelines for additional gas production. This will grow our production, solve our gas challenge, create a new industry, and help America lead in AI. I’m leading a working group in the House to focus on the energy needs of AI," according to a press release. Representative Julie Fedorchak demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Representative Julie Fedorchak makes public statements or advocates against putting a U.S. fee on carbon. Fedorchak opposed a methane emissions tax, saying: "This tax hurts energy producers who are already doing it right. American energy is the cleanest in the world, and we’re leading the way in emissions reductions through innovation, technology, and free-market principles—not heavy-handed federal mandates. American energy solutions are clean energy solutions, proving that we don’t have to choose between unleashing production and a clean environment—we can have both." | 0 | 0 | https://web.archive.org/web/20250326034836/https:/www.grandforksherald.com/news/north-dakota/rep-julie-fedorchak-says-trump-is-doing-what-north-dakota-elected-him-to-do-in-virtual-town-hall

| Fields, Cleo | Louisiana | 6 | D | Representative Cleo Fields does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. Representative Fields does not publicly state whether or not he believes in man-made climate change, often focusing on resiliency and disaster relief. In response to Trump administration plans to cut AmeriCorps funding, Fields wrote in a press release: "The communities of Louisiana—and indeed the nation—rely on AmeriCorps to strengthen civic engagement, reduce poverty, and respond to disasters. Now more than ever, we cannot afford to abandon this mission or the thousands of members who have pledged to serve." | 25 | 100 | Representative Cleo Fields does not oppose climate action. However, he supports continued production of fossil fuels. Representative Fields visited an oil rig with Representative Steve Scalise and other Republicans, and said: "This rig must operate in a prudent and economically, environmentally responsible way, and no one should back up on that. I'm certainly not. But we also have to be realistic; the production of oil and natural gas is a necessity for our communities." While he was a state senator, Fields proposed multible bills that rewuired greater pollution monitoring from petrochemical plants, saying that "[p]eople have a right to know what they breathe.” Fields has also supported greater funding for climate resiliency and relief. After reports that President Trump was going to cut funding for FEMA, Fields wrote in a press release: "FEMA is on the ground for every hurricane in Louisiana. Cuts to the organization would devastate the most vulnerable people in our state during some of the worse moments in their life. Congress, across party lines, needs to do everything in our power to protect FEMA funding." | 25 | Representative Cleo Fields has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 50 | https://fields.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-cleo-fields-and-rep-troy-carter-write-president-trump-doge-eliminating

| Figures, Shomari | Alabama | 2 | D | Congressman Shomari Figures agrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. According to Inside Climate News, Figures did not focus on climate in his campaign, but did say that he would support limited action to address climate change. "Climate change is real... I think the people down in Florida can certainly vouch for it... These storms are becoming more frequent, they are becoming more powerful, they are causing more damage and our policies have to reflect the reality of that and the human contribution to climate change. And so, I think at the end of the day it’s important that we stand up for it and there’s a way to do it that is responsible, that is informed and that is narrowly tailored to address the concerns," stated Figures during a debate. However, Figures prioritizes other issues, like healthcare and education over climate action, and does not mention climate change on his campaign website. | 50 | 100 | Congressman Shomari Figures does not oppose climate action. According to a press release from his congressional office, Figures introduced the The Offshore Parity Act which "would extend the boundaries of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi to nine nautical miles, providing greater access to energy and marine resources and increasing state-level control." According to the act, the energy in question is "oil, gas and other energy activities." However, Figures did vote pro-climate on the four highlighted votes. | 25 | Congressman Shomari Figures has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 56.25 | https://insideclimatenews.org/news/09112024/climate-champions-set-to-enter-congress/

We don’t need to choose between clean energy and economic growth, or between combating climate change and creating jobs. We can and should do both." | 75 | 75 | Congressman Fitzpatrick has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. In a Philadelphia Inquirer op-ed written in 2020 on bipartisan action on climate change, the Congressman wrote, "Climate change is already costing our economy through increased flooding, more severe storms, and devastating droughts.

Frankly, the continuity of the species depends on whether or not we transition from a carbon-dependent economy to one which is powered by green technologies and green jobs. If there is a future, it is a green future. We cannot hesitate and we cannot let big-oil, big-business, and the 1% decide our fates for us." | 100 | 100 | The Congressman lists on his websites actions that need to be taken to tackle climate change, such as passing a Green New Deal and establishing a civilian climate corps.

| Garamendi, John | California | 8 | D | Congressman Garamendi understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a 2022 press release for Earth Day, he stated, “There is no Planet B. On this Earth Day, I am recommitting myself to doing everything in my power to protect our air, water, and ecosystems for this generation and those to come. 2020 was tied for the hottest year on record, and recent climate reports paint a grim picture for the future of our planet if we don’t act now,” Garamendi said. “Mother nature is crying out for help, and we must all heed her warning and answer the call before the climate crisis permanently upends our lives and our world. As a public servant, I have and will continue to spend my career fighting to address the existential threat of climate change" | 100 | 100 | Congressman John Garamendi has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. On the Congressman's, 'Environment,' page, it states, "America must take the climate crisis seriously. Congressman Garamendi is a passionate advocate for investments in clean energy, building weatherization, public transit, and biking amenities, because these are the key ways we can lower our carbon footprint." The congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a speech on the House floor, he stated, “Global warming is real. Take a look at California. 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. With the clean energy programs funded in this bill, we will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030. This critically important funding will make the air we breathe and the water we drink cleaner and spur a once-in-a-generation investment in research and technology to mitigate the risks posed by climate change" | 100 | Congressman Garamendi 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. Rep. Garamendi voted against a 2021 resolution by Rep.

He told iVoterGuide: "Forcing Americans to buy products they don't want and spending billions of dollars on green energy companies that are not profitable isn't saving the planet. It's corporate cronyism. It also makes absolutely no sense to make demands of Americans while we allow nations with much larger populations like China and India to open up new coal burning factories."

While in Congress, he introduced a bill to codify President Trump's energy deregulation efforts, and defended these actions in an op-ed in The Hill. "The consequences of not deregulating energy production are clear. In pursuit of aggressive climate goals, the Biden administration imposed policies that constrained the energy sector by preventing offshore oil and gas drilling, blocking oil drilling on federal lands, halting liquefied natural gas exports, attempting to end fracking, and imposing a natural gas tax... Predictably, many American energy companies canceled projects, which tightened energy supply, resulting in higher prices for consumers," wrote Goldman. According to Fort Worth Report, Goldman in referred to California’s goal to rely solely on wind and solar energy and other forms of clean electricity by 2045 as an inefficient milestone. “It’s just not going to happen,” said Goldman.

| Gooden, Lance | Texas | 5 | R | Congressman Gooden disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. When responding to a 2017 voter survey guide by The Dallas Morning News, the Congressman stated, "Climate science is imprecise and so are the consequences of any legislative action we take to address the issue. We can never be so arrogant to believe we can predict with certainty the impacts that will follow specific regulations about emissions, not only for the environment but also for our economy." In a 2021 post on 'Twitter,' the congressman stated, "Climate change is not the reason for the boarder crisis. Joe Biden is." | 0 | 0 | In a 2019 editorial on climate solutions, Congressman Gooden says, "I offer another solution – one that utilizes the creative power of the American economy. By sponsoring developments in carbon capture, natural gas extraction and nuclear power, Republicans have found a way to allow the genius of American innovation to solve the problems we face. We can’t regulate our way out of this mess as the Obama administration attempted. The future of clean energy and reducing emissions lies in new technologies like small-scale, advanced nuclear power plants and solid-state batteries. The only way to access those solutions is for the American economy to be unleashed."

| Goodlander, Maggie | New Hampshire | 2 | D | Representative Maggie Goodlander understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the priorities page on her campaign website, it states: "The fight for a fair deal also means combating climate change, standing up to Big Oil, and working to make America the world’s clean energy superpower. Maggie believes deeply in advancing environmental justice... In Congress, Maggie will be on the frontlines of the fight against our climate crisis and work to close the tax loopholes that have allowed Big Oil to make record profits while hardworking people are facing record prices at the pumps." In a debate in 2024, Goodlander said: "I take the climate crisis very seriously. It's not enough in 2024 to just acknowledge that climate change is real. This is an existential crisis." | 100 | 100 | Representative Maggie Goodlander has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. Goodlander joined in signing a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Forest Service opposing the proposed reorganization of the U.S. Forest Service, which would close New Hampshire’s Bartlett Experimental Forest and put other facilities, including those at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, at risk. "The decision to relocate the agency’s headquarters and eliminate its world-class research program undermines our efforts to confront the dual crises of climate change and catastrophic wildfires while worsening the already severe loss of staff and expertise since the start of President Trump’s second term... This reorganization proposal would close 57 of the agency’s 77 research stations across 31 states, including stations that study wildfire, drought, pests, and climate change—all of which pose immediate and growing threats to our national forests and nearby communities—and threaten to take decades of staff expertise with them," the letter argued. Representative Maggie Goodlander also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2024 interview with New Hampshire Public Radio, she said "we're seeing these flood events. It's biblical times, and part of the driver of all this, of course, is the climate crisis. And so I want to be a leader on this on day one. We have a lot of work to do. The Department of Defense has been saying for the last 10 years that climate change is a national security threat. It's a threat to all of our communities. And I want to be a part of making the United States of America a clean energy superpower of the world. It's going to create jobs. It's going to help our communities. It's going to lower costs. But we've got to address the climate crisis at its core, and I hope that we'll be able to look back two years from now and see that the Inflation Reduction Act, the bipartisan infrastructure law, all these important pieces of legislation that have been signed into law during the Biden-Harris administration were initial small steps towards a clean energy future and a protected planet that's going to help us prevent the damage that we're seeing every day in our communities." In an interview with Granite State News Collaborative, she stated: "It's an existential crisis. When we say, even the words 'climate change,' it fails to describe the problem. 'Crisis' comes closer, but it's like our language fails us in describing just the stakes of the challenge."

In a 2014 op-ed for the Arizona Republic on President Obama's Clean Power Plan, he stated, "Knowing he can’t lawfully enact a carbon-dioxide tax plan, Obama is unlawfully directing his EPA to impose strict limits on carbon emissions from existing coal and gas-fired facilities."

| Gottheimer, Josh | New Jersey | 5 | D | Congressman Gottheimer understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a statement regarding President Biden's executive order to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, he stated, "Withdrawing the United States from the historic Paris Agreement on climate change was a mistake, an abdication of American leadership on the world stage, and a setback for the united effort needed to keep our air and water clean. We must prioritize addressing the threat of climate change and work to mitigate the harm to our environment, our economy, and our communities. When it comes to clean air and water and a healthy environment, we cannot afford to look the other way." | 100 | 100 | In a press release discussing his advocacy for new climate protections, Rep. Gottheimer stated, "We are in the middle of a major climate crisis. It’s not something we can just ignore and hope will get better. When you talk about fighting climate change, at first it seems like an insurmountable task. But then you dig into it, and you realize we can take immediate steps now that will have both an immediate and long term impact on our lives-on our health, on our economy, on our planet. The cost of inaction on climate change is incalculable." He 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."

| Gray, Adam | California | 13 | D | Representative Adam Gray understands the importance of climate action but not as a top priority issue. As Whip of the centrist Blue Dog Coalition, Gray has emphasized water infrastructure, agriculture, and energy costs in the Central Valley, supporting an all-of-the-above approach that includes continued oil and gas production alongside conservation measures. In an op-ed in The Sacramento Bee from 2025, he wrote that “[c]limate change is not going to wait for us to get our act together, and infrastructure projects cannot be built overnight. Without action today, our farms, wildlife refuges and communities throughout California will be insufficiently prepared to meet our water needs.” In a tweet, he wrote: "Great conversation with @FresnoBee Editor @josephkieta and opinion editor @TadWeber about importance of hydro power in fighting climate change. We need to recognize hydro's value." | 75 | 33.33 | Representative Adam Gray supports an "all-of-the-above" approach to energy. In 2025, he tweeted: "The Central Valley requires an all-of-the-above approach to our energy resources. In today’s Natural Resources Committee meeting, I called for hydroelectric development to power our farms and communities." An “all-of-the-above” strategy includes expanding domestic production of fossil fuels and is counterproductive to reaching zero carbon emissions. As a Blue Dog Democrat representing an agricultural swing district he was the lone Democrat on a committee to vote for a budget bill that proposed increased fossil fuel production. However, in 2022, Gray proposed a bill in the California Assembly to ban the use of fossil fuel powered trains by the California High Speed Rail Authority. Representative Adam Gray does not oppose climate action. | 25 | Representative Adam Gray has no known or an inconsistent public position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

In a 2014 interview with Right Wing Watch, the Congressman stated, "This is this environmental stuff, this is the idea that is driven by this global warming thing. Global warming is not man-made and there is barely any global warming at all. There's been no global warming for the last twelve or thirteen years. I see a shortage of Republicans stepping up to the plate and saying, 'look, this global warming stuff is not going on.' It's ridiculous for the United States, of all the countries in the world, to be putting extra regulations on our business while the Chinese, the Indians, whatever are building new factories all the time. And our factories are stuck saying, 'you can't do this, you can't do this,' because you've got to reign in this global warming which doesn't exist anyway." | 0 | 0 | In a 2017 op-ed supporting the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, the Congressman wrote, "The Paris climate agreement was a bad deal for all Americans, but would have hit Wisconsin’s Sixth District particularly hard... At best, the climate agreement was a wealth redistribution program that imposed hefty costs on American families, and focused far more on handouts to other countries than actually protecting the environment."

| Haridopolos, Mike | Florida | 8 | R | Representative Mike Haridopolos does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. However, Haridopolos supports increased fossil fuel production. He praised The Protecting American Energy Production Act, which prevents any president from unilaterally banning hydraulic fracturing (fracking). Of the Act, he said: "Over the last four years, the Biden administration waged a war on American energy, driving up costs and forcing us to rely on foreign oil and gas from communist dictatorships like Venezuela... With the passage of Rep. Pfluger’s Protecting American Energy Production Act, House Republicans are fighting to unleash our energy wealth and ensure American energy dominance." | 25 | 0 | Representative Mike Haridopolos demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. In a hearing in 2026, Haridopolos said: "[The Biden Administration] were against fracking until they're trying to win Pennsylvania. Oil leases delayed. And the great news is that... we're actually expanding our potential energy footprint so that we have more supply." In another hearing from 2026, Haridopolos again expressed his view that the US should increase fossil fuel production. "We got rid of the Keystone pipeline just a few years ago. That would have lowered gas prices... We also got rid of 40% of our strategic oil reserve because we were playing politics during the previous administration... We all hate high gas prices. We all hate high interest rates... The way that you reduce prices is not by playing politics. It’s by increasing the supply of oil," he stated. | 0 | Representative Mike Haridopolos has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 18.75 | https://haridopolos.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-mike-haridopolos-votes-yes-protecting-american-energy-production

| Harrigan, Pat | North Carolina | 10 | R | Representative Pat Harrigan does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. He told the Charlotte Observer that "[t]o the extent that human behavior is contributing to climate change, we should see it as an economic opportunity to grow new jobs in North Carolina through renewable energy sources." While this statement is not outright climate denial, it comes close by implying that much of climate change is not man-made. Harrigan also boasted about forcing climatologist Michael Mann to step down, saying in a press release that it was "a first step, but universities and policymakers should stop pretending Michael Mann ever represented science. What he represents is everything that has corroded public trust in higher education: bias, dishonesty, and contempt for the people he claims to serve.” | 25 | 0 | Representative Harrigan has been a vocal opponent of climate action. He wrote about his opposition to the 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding on Twitter: "The endangerment finding gave federal agencies sweeping power to reshape the economy without a single vote in Congress. Revoking it is a major step toward restoring democratic accountability and reining in runaway climate regulation!" Harrigan further underscored his opposition to climate action, tweeting: "Make no mistake, while we talk 'climate-action', Communist China's primary goal is undermining America. Our future leadership on the world stage depends on how we respond now. We need an assertive and strategic foreign policy to protect our interests and set the right direction." Harrigan is also a vocal advocate for continued fossil fuel production. "President Biden’s recent decision to pause natural gas exports under the guise of climate change priorities is yet another blow to hardworking American families already hurting from his disastrous economic policies. This action, coupled with his day-one cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline, which immediately left thousands jobless, exemplifies a presidency more committed to a radical, divisive agenda than to the welfare of everyday citizens," Harrigan posted on Twitter. Representative Pat Harrigan demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Representative Pat Harrigan has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. However, given his opposition to climate action and his support for fossil fuels, it is very unlikely that he supports a carbon fee. | 50 | 18.75 | https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politics-government/election/voter-guide/article260985592.html

| Harris, Andy | Maryland | 1 | R | Congressman Andy Harris disagrees with statured scientists that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. According to a 2018 Baltimore Sun article, when asked if he was concerned about a U.N. climate report, the Congressman, responded stating, "there are many different projections for the pace of climate change” and "differing analysis for the degree of causality assigned to types of emissions.” | 0 | 0 | In a 2017 press release on the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, Congressman Harris stated, "Under the Paris Accord, the United States would pay trillions of dollars in economic costs and lose millions of jobs, while China is permitted to increase its emissions through 2030. President Obama made a bad deal, and President Trump can do better. Any new international climate agreement should be ratified by the U.S. Senate, as outlined in the Constitution.” Congressman Harris demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Harris opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.

Harris also opposes the Green New Deal, tweeting in 2025: "End the Green New Scam!" | 0 | 0 | Representative Harris has consistently opposed climate action and support the expansion of fossil fuel production. In 2025, he tweeted: "The US has the most untapped oil reserves in the world! It's time for us to put our God-given resources to use—Drill Baby Drill!" Harris also met with the American Petroleum Institute, and tweeted: "American oil and natural gas play a critical role in creating jobs, strengthening our economy, and securing American energy dominance."

| Hayes, Jahana | Connecticut | 5 | D | Congresswoman Jahana Hayes understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On her campaign website, Hayes says "Climate change is both an environmental issue and a civil rights, economic, and public health issue. Stopping and reversing climate change, protecting public lands and waters, reducing air pollution, transitioning to green energy supplies, and investing in sustainable agriculture is a top priority of mine as your representative." | 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. 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 voted against a 2024 resolution by Rep.

| Higgins, Clay | Louisiana | 3 | R | Congressman Higgins disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a 2017 interview with PBS News Hour, the Congressman Higgins stated, "I certainly do not disagree with the fact that climate change happens, but I do think it is reasonable to question very carefully the science that has used models, which has sometimes come under fire for having been sort of fraudulently manipulated in order to produce a result... Climate change has existed for well before human history. So the question is not whether or not our climate changes across the planet, nor is it really a question that the human race does have some sort of impact upon climate change..." | 0 | 0 | The Congressman ignored the true causes of coastal erosion. On his campaign page, instead of correctly blaming sea level rise and oil spills, he claimed that coastal erosion was caused by decreased sediment, stating, "Throughout history, the Louisiana marshland was replenished by river sediments – land-building deposits derived from the Mississippi River overflowing its banks. But in the early 1900s, a decision was made to levee the river as we know it today. So for the last 80 or 90 years, south Louisiana has been lacking that natural re-building process." In a 2022 Press Release, Higgins criticized climate action, the Green New Deal, and activist Raya Salter saying "Her opening statement was delivered with seething vitriolic hate. She was trembling, unhinged with Green New Deal madness [...] Congressman Higgins made her look inept, because that’s what happens when Democrats are faced with hard truth." Congressman Higgins demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | The Congressman makes public statements or advocates against putting a U.S. fee on carbon. In an interview on PBS News Hour the Congressman stated, "When we talk about spending the people's treasure, and the very concept that we can fix climate change with some sort of a tax, is something that I certainly take very seriously with regards to having an intelligent debate about." Congressman Higgins voted for 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). He did not sign the Americans for Prosperity “No Climate Tax” pledge. | 0 | 0 | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/watch-louisiana-rep-clay-higgins-skepticism-human-caused-climate-change

| Hill, French | Arkansas | 2 | R | Congressman French Hill agrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a 2019 press release opposing the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9), the Congressman stated, “Climate change is real, but the proposals put forward by Democrats, like the Green New Deal, are fiction. The reality is, America is already a global leader in pursuing cleaner production of energy and reducing carbon emissions–to the tune of approximately 10% over the past decade. Addressing climate change should include investing in longer battery life technologies, lowering barriers for solar cell innovation, and pursuing cleaner more cost-effective methods to use nuclear energy. I believe that we need to continue pursuing an ‘all of the above’ energy strategy that leads to a cleaner, less carbon dependent future without forcing Arkansas families to bear the burden of the flawed Paris Climate Accord." | 50 | 0 | Congressman Hill spoke against the World Bank's climate mission saying it should not focus on combatting climate change, and instead only on reducing poverty and an all-of-the-above energy strategy. Hill has also criticized climate action attempted by Democratic members of Congress, calling it "fiction."

| Himes, Jim | Connecticut | 4 | D | Congressman Jim Himes understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Energy and environment,' page it states, "Climate change is here, and it’s affecting more Americans every day. The increasingly severe storms associated with climate change, like Hurricane Ida and Superstorm Sandy, are damaging Connecticut’s coastal communities, causing severe flooding, closing roads, and downing power lines. The price of inaction will be far greater than if we made meaningful and drastic changes to our energy and environmental policies." | 100 | 100 | In a 2021 press release from Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont, regarding an "offshore wind proposal awarded $500,000," the Congressman stated 'Catastrophic and deadly weather events will only continue to worsen unless we face the climate crisis head on,” Congressman Jim Himes said. “Connecticut stands ready to do its part by shifting to wind and other renewable energy sources.'" Himes has made other press releases supporting the passage of climate action bills, such as the Inflation Reduction Act. Congressman Hime's website and position papers advocate for climate action, but not as a top priority issue. | 75 | Congressman Himes publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Horsford, Steven | Nevada | 4 | D | Congressman Steve Horsford understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a 2021 press release discussing the House's Climate Crisis Action plan, he stated, "Climate change is an existential crisis that threatens our children’s futures, and the futures of our children’s children. As a member of the House Natural Resources Committee, I’m working to push Congress to take up the bold action that’s needed to address the ever-growing threat of climate change and ameliorate the effects of human emissions and pollution." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Horsford has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action.

Congressman Horsford also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2021 press release discussing the need for climate action via Build Back Better and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, he stated, "The historic drought at Lake Mead is a shocking example of the threat climate change poses to the West...I’m grateful to Vice President Harris for coming to Nevada to see our water crisis firsthand, and I look forward to working with the White House to pass the urgent climate investments in the Build Back Better Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal. Together, these bills will create jobs, invest in Nevada’s clean energy economy, and protect our environment for generations to come.” Congressman Horsford makes climate change a top priority issue.

| 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.

| Hoyle, Val | Oregon | 4 | D | Congresswoman Hoyle understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On her campaign website, she states "Climate change and environmental degradation isn’t a future threat: it is an immediate emergency that we are experiencing today in the form of wildfires, extreme heat, drought, contaminated water, and more. In the legislature, Val helped expand Oregon’s Clean Fuels program to reduce carbon emissions, worked to move Oregon off of coal power, and increased renewable energy standards for utilities. In Congress, she will work to reestablish the United States as a global leader in addressing climate change, fight for clean air and water, and protect Oregon’s natural treasures. Val’s plan to tackle the climate crisis includes: Moving America to a 100% Clean Electricity standard. Fighting for a just transition to a renewable energy future that provides good jobs for Oregonians and protects families from high energy costs. Halting new fossil fuel leasing on our federal public lands. Pushing for the federal investments necessary to make Oregon a leader in renewable energy generation." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Hoyle has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action.

| Huffman, Jared | California | 2 | D | Congressman Huffman understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Climate Action,Energy & Environment,' 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, well-paying jobs, and energy independence. Pursuing these projects will not only make progress on climate change- they will also make our country stronger, healthier, and more prosperous. As a climate leader and an original cosponsor of the Green New Deal resolution, these priorities are front and center in all my work for California’s Second District." | 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 Congressman 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 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 86). | 100 | 100 | https://huffman.house.gov/policy-issues/climate-action-energy-and-environment

| Huizenga, Bill | Michigan | 4 | R | Congressman Bill Huizenga disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In an article in 'Vice," he is referred to as a "climate denier," and quoted there saying, "I do not believe that further congressional action is needed to address climate change...Today's global warming doomsayers simply lack the scientific evidence to support their claims. A host of leaders in the scientific community have recognized that the argument for drastic anthropogenic global warming is no longer based on science, but is being driven by irrational fanaticism." | 0 | 0 | In a 2022 press release, the Congressman stated "The SEC is engaging in these rulemakings to advance the Biden Administration’s environmental agenda. The intellectual foundation for these rulemakings leaves little doubt that the purpose of these rulemakings is not truly an attempt to provide financially material information to investors for all companies; the real intent is to fight climate change. Congress, however, has not passed any securities-related law that would allow for that to be a legitimate aim of Commission rulemaking. If and until that happens, the Commission must act consistently within its historical bounds, or rulemakings like these should and likely will be thrown out in federal court."

| Hurd, Jeff | Colorado | 3 | R | Representative Jeff Hurd agrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In an interview with Colorado Public Radio, Hurd stated "I do believe climate change is real and I do believe it presents challenges. I know that here in the Western Slope, for example, where I'm from, and at home, and where I'm raising my kids, we do have a changing hydrology and the climate is drying. And we need to make sure that whatever we're doing to address this issue takes into account that it is a global issue and there are emissions that are coming from other countries that have a much higher carbon intensity than what we're doing in Colorado." However, Hurd advocates for an all-of the-above approach to energy, saying to Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions "Colorado’s Third District embodies America’s energy potential, including fossil fuels, renewables, and emerging technologies. An all of the above energy approach means putting these resources to work to deliver energy that is affordable, reliable, secure, and export ready. This is not abstract. It is about real jobs, strong supply chains, and stable communities." | 50 | 0 | Representative Jeff Hurd demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. Although he claims to support an all-of-the-above strategy, this usually means advocating for increased oil and gas production. In the same interview with Colorado Public Radio that he said he believed in climate change, Hurd said "if you genuinely care about reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, then you ought to support getting as much energy out of Colorado as possible. That includes not only the clean coal that we have, but also natural gas." Furthermore, Hurd visited a coal mine and tweeted that it was "[g]reat to meet the miners of West Elk Mine which produces high-energy/low mercury/low sulphur coal that powers the local economy and key US industries." In an op-ed in the Washington Times, he wrote "Colorado’s 3rd District has the resources to lead. Oil. Gas. Uranium. Geothermal. High-quality coal." | 0 | Representative Jeff Hurd has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

Increased severe weather events are only one indication of the effects of the changing climate caused by the use of fossil fuels [...] Fundamental changes are required, and it will take a multi-pronged approach that will involve everyone. That is why I support the concept of the Green New Deal; we have no time to spare, and our future depends on its success." Furthermore, on his house.gov website, he states that "We urgently need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid some of the worst consequences of climate change." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Ivey has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action as a top priority issue. He has co-sponsored house resolutions such as H.Con.Res.56, which "expresses the sense of Congress that climate change caused by human activities constitutes a climate emergency, which demands the President use existing authorities and emergency powers to mitigate and prepare for the consequences of the emergency."

| Jack, Brian | Georgia | 3 | R | Representative Brian Jack does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. Jack does not clearly state what he believes, but supports increased US production of oil and gas. "If we want to reduce carbon emissions, let's start building stuff back at home again. When you're shipping things across the Pacific and across the Atlantic to our communities, that's an enormous carbon footprint. Let's bring manufacturing back to our country. Let's incentivize companies to build things in America because that's when our country was great. And I want to pursue policies that unleash American energy potential at home. I want us to develop oil and gas here at home," Jack said at a debate in 2024.
| 25 | 0 | Representative Brian Jack demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. On his website, he writes: "Lowering taxes and expanding President Trump’s middle class tax cuts, reducing spending and working towards a balanced budget, and unleashing American energy including oil and natural gas, will put us on a path to recovery and deliver needed relief for Georgia taxpayers." Further at a 2014 debate, Jack defended and advocated for the first Trump administration's energy policy. "We should also look at unleashing America's energy potential. One of the things i was really proud of doing in the Trump Administration was working with President Trump to ensure that we had accelerated permitting approval, that we built more pipelines and enabled energy producers to drill, drill, drill," Jack said.

| Joyce, David | Ohio | 14 | R | Congressman David Joyce does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. | 25 | 0 | Congressman Joyce joined the Conservative Climate Caucus, saying "I’m proud to be among those launching the Conservative Climate Caucus today. Republicans need to have a voice in creating practical solutions to address climate change." On the Congressman's, 'Energy,' page, it states, "The United States must take an 'all of the above' approach that utilizes all available energy sources, including coal, oil, natural gas, and wind. This will help keep energy costs low for consumers. During my time in Congress, I have supported efforts which promote and prioritize the domestic production of energy sources and feel strongly that we must reduce our dependence on foreign energy." An “all of the above” strategy includes expanding domestic production of fossil fuels and is counterproductive to reaching zero carbon emissions.
| 25 | Congressman Joyce opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon. He voted in favor of a 2024 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. 86). | 25 | 25.75 | https://joyce.house.gov/energy/

| Joyce, John | Pennsylvania | 13 | R | Congressman Joyce does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a 2019 press release touting Natural Gas, the Congressman stated, "Congress must support an ‘all of the above’ strategy to ensure Americans’ access to affordable and efficient energy. A leader in our nation’s natural gas production, Pennsylvania’s natural gas reserves have tripled between 2011 and 2017 thanks to the development of the Marcellus Shale. Not only has the development of natural gas in Pennsylvania expanded economic opportunities, but it also is driving declining carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. power sector. As a physician, I believe it is critical that we utilize clean-burning natural gas as a key component of our energy economy.” | 25 | 0 | In a 2019 press release advocating against the Paris Agreement, Congressman Joyce stated, "“When President Obama signed the Paris Agreement, he clearly did not understand the harm it would do to the manufacturers of south central Pennsylvania. The workers of the 13th District overwhelmingly elected President Trump to remove them from bad deals that hurt their businesses and eliminate their jobs, and I do not support reentering this lopsided pact that is unfair to my constituents.” Congressman Joyce demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action.

| Kaptur, Marcy | Ohio | 9 | D | Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a 2017 press release condemning the President's climate change Executive Orders, the Congresswoman stated, "Climate change is not an abstract issue for many Ohioans. Its impacts can be felt all along the shoreline of Lake Erie where warmer water can exacerbate problems such as harmful algal blooms. The effects of climate change are far and wide and impact our land, our water and our air – let the science be our guide, Mr. President.” | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Kaptur has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. The Congresswoman supported the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9), stating in a 2019 press release, "Families in Northern Ohio know the climate crisis is real and poses an existential threat to our future. Tackling climate change to protect public health, the air we breathe, and the water we drink must be among our highest priorities." The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. As the Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, the Congresswoman hosted a 2019 hearing on climate change, stating, "Climate change is the global issue of our time and a challenge to our ability to sustain life on Earth. Our responsibility in Congress is to support efforts that meet that challenge head on." Congresswoman Kaptur makes climate change a top priority issue. In 2019, she hosted a roundtable on Dept. of Energy's role in fighting climate change. In her opening statement she stated, "We are here to discuss the topic of climate change – a global issue that challenges our ability to sustain life on earth. Our job in Congress is to frame the magnitude of this challenge and provide a practical pathway forward that is regionally sensitive." | 100 | Congresswoman Kaptur has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Keating, Bill | Massachussetts | 9 | D | Congressman Bill Keating understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. During his opening statement of an April 2019 hearing on the threats of climate change to national security, the Congressman stated, "What does our warming globe actually look like? Intensifying food and water insecurity; population flows related to migration, displacement, and planned relocation; the inability of fragile states to anticipate and mitigate the impacts of climate change; increased need for disaster relief and humanitarian assistance; great power competition resulting from the diminishment of arctic sea ice; and heightened conflict with and among states. These are problems that would generally demand the full focus of American foreign policy. You’d think that getting at the root cause of such an alarming list of issues would be a major priority." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Keating’s 'Environment' page states, "Bill has long been a champion for environmental conservation. In the face of a changing climate, he believes is critical to invest in both conservation and coastal restoration initiatives." He was also quoted in The Hill, stating, "Our generation has failed to adequately address the climate crisis.” Congressman Keating’s website and position papers advocate for climate action, but not as a top priority issue. | 75 | Congressman Keating has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Kelly, Mike | Pennsylvania | 16 | R | Congressman Mike Kelly disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a 2013 press release responding to a speech President Obama gave on climate change, the Congressman stated, “In spite of serious, ongoing crises in trouble spots around the world, President Obama recently flew abroad to name climate change, of all things, the ‘global threat of our time.’ Despite the thousands of jobs that the Keystone XL pipeline is guaranteed to create and the vast public support it enjoys, the president refuses to approve it. Despite the hundreds of thousands of jobs derived from our nation’s coal industry – including more than 40,000 jobs in Pennsylvania – and the affordable energy it provides our communities, the White House’s climate advisor has shockingly declared that ‘a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.'" | 0 | 0 | In a 2017 press release supporting the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, the Congressman stated, "Today’s announcement is great news for the American people. It is a victory for our economy, our sovereignty, and our Constitution. The Paris Agreement – which should have been considered a treaty from the very beginning – was written with Americans and their elected representatives as an afterthought. It would result in unfair domestic harm for American workers, taxpayers, consumers, manufacturers, and energy producers. We would shoulder most of the cost and gain no measurable reward. There’s a reason President Obama never submitted this accord to the Senate for proper approval: it would have been rejected as a very bad deal for America, and rightly so."

Americans deserve access to reliable and affordable energy, and the federal government does not need to be in the business of picking winners and losers.

| Kennedy, Mike | Utah | 4 | R | Representative Mike Kennedy does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In 2018, Kennedy was asked about climate change by the Park Record. Referencing Summit County’s Electric Xpress bus line, he said technology and more efficient transportation could help mitigate climate change’s effects, such as the Salt Lake Valley’s inversions. He said that could be achieved with or without global cooperation. “When it comes to ‘America First,’ what’s good for America is good for the whole world,” Kennedy said. However, since then his stance on climate change seems to have changed. In 2026, Kennedy wrote on Twitter that he voted against a spending bill in part because it included funding for "alarmist climate change research." | 25 | 0 | Representative Kennedy has consistently opposed action on climate change. Kennedy claims to support an "all-of-the-above" energy approach, but in actuality he is most vocal in supporting continued fossil fuel reliance. He introduce a bill called the "License to Drill Act" which fast tracks permitting for energy projects. This action was praise by the Utah Petroleum Association in a press release. His cozy ties with the fossil fuel industry are further evidenced by his visit to a Chevron refinery. He tweeted: "Last week, I toured the Chevron Refinery to discuss their operations and their role in advancing American Energy Dominance. The refinery produces gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, with 30% of its oil sourced locally in Utah. I remain committed to supporting America’s growing energy demands." He is also a vocal supporter of coal. "For generations, coal has fueled American industry and powered progress. Today, as we continue to innovate, it remains vital to our energy security and prosperity. I’ve introduced a resolution to designate this week as ‘Coal Week’ to honor the industry and the workers who keep our lights on and our nation strong," wrote Kennedy on Twitter.

We’re on our way to running on 100 percent clean energy by 2045 – one of the most ambitious targets in the nation. California is showing concrete results in achieving the vision of a Green New Deal while fostering economic growth. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest budget commits California to becoming “carbon-neutral” by 2045." Rep. Khanna makes climate change a top priority issue. In a 2019 San Jose Spotlight article, The Congressman in a 2021 tweet stated, "The UN’s climate change report confirms we've already warmed the globe and must act immediately to prevent it from worsening. Global warming is causing heat waves, stronger storms, flooding, and droughts. The stakes are clear for the infrastructure bill. No climate no deal.” | 100 | Congressman Khanna supports a U.S. fee on carbon but does not advocate for it. According to Science Magazine Rep.

| LaHood, Darin | Illinois | 16 | R | Congressman LaHood does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. During a 2017 Town Hall the Congressman was asked his stance on climate change, in which he answered, "I agree, the climate is changing. I believe that humans play a role in that, there's no doubt about that. The question is, at what level do they play a role? Is it 51% is it 35% what is that?" | 25 | 0 | In a 2016 Facebook Post the Congressman wrote, "What happened in Paris won't stay in Paris. How did President Obama circumvent Congress during the climate change conference?" In a hearing in the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology Rep. Lahood made the following statement on the social cost of carbon. "Last year I was pleased to cosponsor H.R. 5668, Transparency and Honesty in Energy Regulation Act. Or THERA. This legislation is aimed at prohibiting the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency from considering the Social Cost of Carbon as part of any cost benefit analysis unless specifically authorized by law. If passed the DOE and EPA would no longer rely on manipulated and fabricated economic benefits to justify or support new job-killing environmental regulations. The Social Cost of Carbon is nothing but a political tool lacking scientific integrity and transparency conceived and utilized by an administration pushing a green agenda to the detriment of the American taxpayers. Perhaps a better measurement of the Social Cost of Carbon is not the net damages that result from a 1-metric ton increase in carbon dioxide emissions in a given year but the damage inflicted on domestic industries by the environmental regulations justified by this flawed calculation."

| Latimer, George | New York | 16 | D | Representative George Latimer understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On his campaign website, he wrote: "Climate change is an urgent threat with long-term repercussions, which demands immediate and decisive action to safeguard our future... As George believes it is our shared responsibility to preserve the planet for future generations, he will support passing a Green New Deal to enact comprehensive policies that address environmental degradation, promote conservation efforts, and mitigate the impacts of climate change on communities across the nation." In 2025, he wrote on Twitter: "Climate change is real and urgent. We ignore it at our own peril. These rollbacks on climate and health protections like safe drinking water and clean air, will hurt millions of Americans while padding polluters’ profits. The EPA’s job is to protect us—gutting protections is a betrayal. More disasters, more disease—that’s the cost. Outraged doesn’t even begin to cover it." | 100 | 100 | Representative George Latimer has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. Latimer strongly opposed the Republican led budget, saying: "People will get sicker. Kids will go hungry. Families will pay more for gas and home electric bills while our world continues to warm due to climate change. No matter how you spin it, everyday Americans will suffer." Representative George Latimer also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In response to the Trump Administration's rescinding of the 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding, Latimer wrote on Twitter: "The Trump Administration’s plan to revoke the EPA’s 2009 finding that greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health, flies in the face of science and our fight against climate change. Alongside other decisions made by this administration, this rollback has the most lasting repercussions in the fight for our children’s futures and environment." Furthermore, while he was Westchester County Executive, Latimer championed clean energy and emissions reductions. While in office, Westchester County was designated as a Bronze Certified Climate Smart Community by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. "When we talk about how we are going fight Climate Change, every one of us can do our share. There are things within our power as a County government – those are things we ought to do – and when there are things that fall outside of our authority, we will advocate for them," said Latimer.

On her campaign website, the Congresswoman writes "In Congress I will fight for a Green New Deal to transition to a 100% clean and renewable energy economy.

In a 2022 interview with Teen Vogue, Congresswoman Lee states "There is no future in fossil fuels, not for our planet and not for any industry. No matter how much planet-destroying drilling and fracking you do, those fossil fuels will run out.

| Lieu, Ted | California | 36 | D | Congressman Lieu understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On Lieu's House website, he says "it's clear to me that to solve climate change, we need America to do what California has done, and then for America to get other countries to do what California has done." In a press release, Lieu said "Climate Change is the greatest existential threat to humanity. We must act now and act fast to protect our planet and future generations from the impacts of climate change. Across the world, we’ve seen more and more extreme weather events, including the recent wildfire on Maui and the floods in Libya, which have resulted in thousands of deaths. At home in my congressional district, my constituents have seen wildfires, landslides, and other natural disasters that have destroyed homes and livelihoods. Unless we take extreme action now, it will only get worse." | 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 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 86). | 100 | 100 | https://lieu.house.gov/issues/energy-and-environment

| Lofgren, Zoe | California | 18 | D | Congresswoman Lofgren understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congresswoman's, 'Energy and Environment page,' it states, "Climate change is the most serious environmental issue facing our nation and our planet. Today we see the negative impacts of climate change as heat-trapping emissions increase global temperatures, melt once permanent ice caps and glaciers, and raise our sea levels leading to greater threats from erratic weather. The pace of climate change threatens habitats and food production as well as public health." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Lofgren has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action.

In her press release, the Congresswoman stated, "We all benefit as Americans when we invest in the future of our country. I am pleased to reintroduce the Clean Energy Victory Bonds Act for the fourth time, as momentum builds in California and across the country for aggressive action on climate change.” The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. On the Congresswoman's, 'Energy,' page, it states, "Our oil dependency also undermines our national security and worsens the threat of climate change. That's why Zoe has supported efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase efficiency standards for cars, trucks, and buildings. By increasing efficiency, we can reduce overall consumption and slow emissions that lead to climate change." Rep. Lofgren 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 Lofgren has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Lucas, Frank | Oklahoma | 3 | R | Congressman Frank Lucas agrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. According to a 2021 article in the 'Tulsa World News,' Congressman Lucas states, "Fossil fuel use isn’t incompatible with emissions reductions," Lucas wrote. "We don’t have to repeat Europe’s mistake and choose between reliable, affordable energy and clean energy. My Republican colleagues and I acknowledge that climate change is real, but the way we succeed isn’t by weaponizing financial regulators and shunning the energy companies that are essential to meet our energy needs. If we do that, we are cutting off the industry that is making essential investments in the new technologies necessary to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related risks." | 50 | 0 | In a press release criticizing the Paris Accords, Congressman Lucas stated, "It will be fascinating to see how the EPA responds to this concept of sending U.S.employees out to enforce agreements that the Senate has not yet approved.” According to a 2019 E&E News article, the Congressman who is the ranking member of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, wants to better understand the complex relationship between climate change and weather. According to a spokeswoman, "As a rancher who represents a large community of agricultural producers, Ranking Member Lucas wants to better understand the complex relationship between climate change and weather... He's interested in how we can help communities increase preparedness for weather events and help businesses benefit from better short-term weather prediction."

I just fundamentally believe that’s not the direction that will ultimately get to where we and the world wants to go.” Congressman Lucas voted in favor of a 2024 resolution by Rep.

| McBride, Sarah | Delaware | 1 | D | Representative Sarah McBride understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On her website, she writes: "Climate change poses an urgent threat to both our planet and our home, Delaware, the nation’s lowest-lying state. President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act was the single largest investment in green infrastructure and the most profound attempt to rescue our climate in history. Building on that progress must be a top priority for Delaware’s sole member of Congress. In the House, I’ll fight to increase investment in renewable energy, make green technologies affordable and accessible for consumers and businesses, and ensure that the sustainable industries of the future employ a local and unionized workforce. In order to achieve net-zero emissions as soon as possible, the United States must demonstrate commitment to both domestic action and global investment." Representative McBride gave an interview with CoastTV News in 2024 where she addressed climate. "In order to actually address the global crisis of climate change we need federal action and federal solutions. And so after several years in the legislature where we've been able to make historic progress showing that small states can do big things, I'm running for congress now because we need federal action and of course we need people to deliver that federal action who know how to make change and have a proven record of making change, and I believe I'm that candidate," McBride said. | 100 | 100 | Representative McBride has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In response to President Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s final repeal of the Endangerment Finding and proposals to rollback critical clean vehicle and power plant pollution standards, McBride took a strong stance. "Delaware has warmed by roughly two degrees over the last century. Summers are hotter and longer, with heat waves placing seniors, children, and outdoor workers at higher risk of heat illness and straining our electric grid. Heavy rainfall is overwhelming stormwater systems and flooding neighborhoods, while more intense storms increase the chance of levee breaches and infrastructure failures... Delawareans are resilient, but resilience alone is not enough. We cannot tell families already living with chronic flooding, dangerous heat, and rising insurance rates that the science is ‘unduly pessimistic.’ The cost of inaction is too high for our homes, our economy, and our way of life. Climate change is here, and in Delaware, we know the stakes could not be clearer," McBride wrote. Representative Sarah McBride also makes prominent public statements on the issue. She gave the keynote address at the opening ceremony of Delaware's climate week, saying "Climate change is not abstract for Delaware, it’s real and it’s existential... As the lowest-lying state in the nation, we understand that it is not just some moral responsibility—but an immediate need. It is not too late for us to meet this moment and turn this crisis into opportunity. If we invest in energy here at home, we not only save lives and the planet, but we create jobs right now."

As Chicken Little belatedly discovered, there is a big difference between an acorn and the sky." McClintock repeats this sentiment in speaking to The Valley Citizen saying "The Earth’s climate is constantly changing and has been since the planet formed over four billion years ago [...] I firmly believe that the United States should not hamstring its economy in an attempt to combat climate change." | 0 | 0 | According to The Sacramento Bee, In a 2018 Congressional debate, Congressman McClintock, when asked about climate change, stated, "The planet’s been warming on and off since the last Ice Age...

We're still working in Congress to reduce emissions, to build green infrastructure. And as you know, our Twin Cities are doing everything they can do to combat climate change, as well as many other cities.” The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. During a 2019 House floor debate on congressional spending, Rep. McCollum stated, "I believe we have a moral obligation to future generations to leave this planet better than we found it. Limiting pollution from power plants is part of an overall strategy to protect us from the worst impacts of climate change. We owe it to the next generation.” Congresswoman McCollum makes climate change a top priority issue.

| McDonald Rivet, Kristen | Michigan | 8 | D | Representative Kristen McDonald Rivet understands the importance of climate action but not as a top priority issue. McDonald Rivet does not mention climate change on her campaign website nor her congressional website. However, she has made statements showing her belief in man-made climate change. In 2023, she wrote on Twitter: "Addressing climate change by prioritizing clean energy sources is smart economics, offers increased reliability for consumers, and is vital for a sustainable future. Proud to be one of the bill sponsors in @MISenDems' Clean Energy Future Plan." Further, she wrote that "[w]e can… ✅ address climate change ✅ help economic development ✅ add jobs in energy & construction ✅ lower carbon footprints ✅ lower costs...while using private capital & market forces to drive these goals," on Twitter in 2023. | 75 | 75 | Representative Kristen McDonald Rivet supports climate action but is not a strong advocate for it. McDonald RIvet voted with Republicans to repeal the Environmental Protection Agency’s waivers for California’s vehicle emission standards, saying in a press release: "I can’t tell our farmers, our construction workers, or even the families that live next door to me that they will be required to for these vehicles that are, right now, are really expensive." According to the press release, "[t]he mandate requires zero-emission cars to account for 35% of car sales in 2026, 51% by 2028, and 100% by 2035." However, McDonald Rivet, along with two other representatives, introduced the Conservation and Regenerative Optimization Practices for Farming Act, which, among other things, supports lower emissions farming. In the press release, McDonald Rivet said: "The success of our farmers and protecting the environment go hand in hand... I hear from farmers all the time whose families have worked their land for generations and who want to conserve that same land for future generations. Through the CROP Farming Act, I am working with both parties to make that easier to achieve." While in the Michigan legislature in 2023, McDonald Rivet introduced a bill that supported solar energy for farmers. However, Representative McDonald Rivet focused more on the financial impact than the potential climate benefits, saying: "If you put solar on your farmland, it provides a really substantial income stream for our family farms. A lot of them don’t want to do that. But the ones that do should have the option. It’s their property and it also protects this heritage land for future generations." | 50 | Representative Kristen McDonald Rivet has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 62.5 | https://x.com/McdonaldRivet/status/1649807441154961409

| McDowell, Addison | North Carolina | 6 | R | Representative Addison McDowell does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. He does not clearly state whether or not he believes in climate change, but he has consistently opposed the Green New Deal. On Twitter in 2025, he wrote: "The Green New Scam is bankrolled by the CCP. The far left would rather bow to Beijing than drill in Texas. The 'environmental groups' Democrats are cozying up to are CCP-backed ops waging economic war on America." He repeated his use of the term "Green New Scam" in another tweet from 2025. "When Linden says “revenue,” he means higher taxes to fund DEI, Green New Scam, and liberal pet projects," wrote McDowell. | 25 | 0 | Representative McDowell has consistently opposed climate action as well as supported measures that increase greenhouse gas emissions. McDowell was a vocal supporter of the One Big Beautiful Bill, which will increase greenhouse gas emissions. In a press release, he said: "The One Big Beautiful Bill Act locks in permanent tax cuts for families, ends the tax on tips, supercharges American energy, and gives our Border Patrol agents the tools they’ve been begging for to get the job done." Furthermore, in an op-ed with Real Clear Energy, McDowell laid out how he views energy and climate. "Energy impacts nearly all facets of our economy, which is why the previous administration’s deliberate policy decision to focus on climate activism rather than economic reality was so harmful to working families... Under President Trump, the United States became the world’s top energy producer. We had low costs, stable supply, and a booming economy. But in just four years, the Biden Administration reversed that progress through a policy agenda rooted in radical environmentalism. The Green New Deal philosophy – or 'Green New Scam' as I like to call it – resulted in canceled pipelines, frozen leases, and projects buried in red tape. The consequences have been devastating for working families and small businesses, especially in communities like mine in central North Carolina," wrote McDowell.

| McIver, LaMonica | New Jersey | 10 | D | Representative LaMonica McIver understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On her congressional website, she wrote: "Climate change is and will continue to affect our District and communities all across the globe. From the devastation of coastal communities, to extreme weather events, extreme heat, dangerous pollution and threats to our food system, we cannot ignore the impact of climate change and we cannot wait to act. I firmly support efforts to expand environmental protections, hold polluters accountable and create a more sustainable economy, both with legislation and through federal funding." Furhtermore, on Twitter she stated: "Today—and every day—we must recommit to protecting our planet for future generations. From clean energy to climate justice, the work continues. Let’s plant seeds of change together." | 100 | 100 | Representative LaMonica McIver has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. "As attacks on our climate and democracy continue, I’ll keep fighting in Congress to protect clean energy, environmental justice, public lands, and the rights of our communities," wrote McIver on Twitter. On LinkedIn, she underscored these ideas: "I’m proud to stand alongside the advocates and organizers at Climate Revolution Action Network as we continue the fight for environmental justice, clean energy, and a healthier future for our communities. As powerful interests continue to put profits over people and our planet, we know real change only happens when we organize together and uplift the voices of everyday people—that’s exactly who I’ll keep fighting for every single day alongside CRAN." Representative LaMonica McIver also makes prominent public statements on the issue. On her campaign website, she writes: "Environmental injustices disproportionately impact low-income communities and communities of color. We need policies that address environmental racism, promote clean air and water, invest in renewable energy, and ensure that frontline communities in our district have a seat at the table in the decision-making process. We must invest in building resilient communities that are prepared for the impacts of climate change and environmental hazards. Through disaster preparedness, green infrastructure, and equitable access to resources, we can ensure that our communities can withstand and recover from environmental challenges."

| Meeks, Gregory W. | New York | 5 | D | Congressman Gregory Meeks understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's Health Issues webpage, "Climate change and other environmental issues pose an enormous threat to global public health. Extreme weather, crop destruction, changes to ecosystems, and the mere presence of air and water pollutants are all serious threats to people’s well-being across the globe. We must fight climate change and protect the environment like our lives depend on it, because they very much do." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Meeks has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. He is a co-sponsor of 'Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal' (H.Res.332) bill, legislation that "calls for the creation of a Green New Deal." The Green New Deal aims to invest in fighting climate change and reducing GHG emissions while also creating new jobs in the American economy. Rep. Meeks also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In an Op-ed for The Hill, he states, "While the people who have historically inhabited the Western Hemisphere...are among the most vulnerable to the climate crisis, they are also the key to its survival. It is the responsibility of those in power — including myself as chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee — to make systemic change that empowers those at the forefront of climate change to be at the core of its solution." Congressman Meeks makes climate change a top priority issue. He is a co-sponsor of 100% Clean Economy Act of 2019 (H.R.5221), legislation that "sets a national goal of achieving a 100% clean economy (economy-wide, net-zero greenhouse gas emissions) by no later than 2050." | 100 | Congressman Meeks 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 voted against a 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 86). | 100 | 100 | https://meeks.house.gov/issues/health

Further, on Twitter she stated: "As climate change brings more extreme weather and raises flood risks, we can't wait until after the next disaster to act.

| Menefee, Christian | Texas | 18 | D | Representative Christian Menefee understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On Twitter, he wrote: "The EPA’s job is to protect people, and our air, water, and land. But Trump wants to gut it to help polluters and block future action. We should be doing more to stop climate change, not less. Our lives, and our kids’ futures, depend on it." In another tweet, he emphasized this position: "This will be harmful to Texans. @TCEQ refuses to address climate change, which disproportionately impacts low income communities of color. Congress empowered the @EPA to help places like Houston (the energy capital of the world), and #SCOTUS just took that power away." | 100 | 0 | Representative Christian Menefee has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. He condemned cuts to climate research funding, saying: "Hurricane Harvey alone caused $125 billion in damage and dumped more than 60 inches of rain in parts of Texas... That is not bad luck. That is a warning. The science is clear, these storms are getting stronger, and we cannot afford to cut the research that helps keep Houstonians safe." Representative Christian Menefee also makes prominent public statements on the issue. While he was Harris County Attorney, he stated: "Make no mistake—this is not about electric vehicles. This is about the EPA flat-out refusing to do its job to protect us from climate pollution. Today's proposal represents a complete abdication of the federal government's responsibility to safeguard public health and welfare from the climate crisis. The Endangerment Finding is the cornerstone that drives all EPA regulation of greenhouse gases. If this finding is rescinded, it will be disastrous for climate change regulation and will strip away the legal authority that has protected Americans for more than a decade. We are already witnessing the catastrophic effects of climate change here in Harris County and across the country, from historic flooding and heat waves to extreme weather events that we know are made worse by climate change. Now, this administration wants to roll back the very regulations designed to address these threats. This reckless action won't just impact our lives today, but it will hand future generations a more dangerous and unstable climate."

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.

| Messmer, Mark | Indiana | 8 | R | Representative Mark Messmer disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In an EPA press release, Messmer praised the decision to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare, saying "The Endangerment Finding has long been a Democrat tool to issue burdensome regulations that ignore commonsense science in pursuit of radical Green New Deal aligned agendas." Messmer also supports increased fossil fuel production, saying on Twitter "Just voted to pass @RepPfluger's Protecting American Energy Production Act. It’s time to unleash our country’s independent energy potential and lower prices for Hoosiers in IN-08 and all Americans!" The Protecting American Energy Production Act is legislation that prevents the President from unilaterally declaring a moratorium on fracking unless explicitly authorized by Congress. | 0 | 0 | Representative Mark Messmer demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. Messmer praised the Trump administration's dereg ulation of coal emissions, stating in an EPA press release: "It is so refreshing to have a President in office who understands how to make America an energy dominant country again... We should never ignore readily available sources of energy, which if left untapped, force us to become dependent upon our enemies to fill in the gaps. The repeal of the 2024 MATS amendments revives an industry crucial to making energy affordable again and allows Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money.” Further, at a hearing in 2026, Messmer said: "In December, the Trump administration ordered a temporary halt to the planned shutdowns of two coal burning power plants in Indiana. This announcement and President Trump's executive order to reinvigorate America's clean coal industry are examples of his administration commitment to lowering America's cost of living and restoring US global energy dominance." | 0 | Representative Mark Messmer has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 12.5 | https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-releases-proposal-rescind-obama-era-endangerment-finding-regulations-paved-way

| Min, Dave | California | 47 | D | Representative Dave Min understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In 2025, he tweeted: "Amidst all the chaos of the Trump administration, one thing remains constant: climate change is accelerating at a rapid rate, and we must act now if we want to turn the tide." On his website, he writes that the "science is clear: we are facing tectonic changes to our basic way of life unless we begin to aggressively reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and turn the tide on carbon emissions, and the longer we wait, the more terrifying the consequences." | 100 | 100 | Representative Dave Min has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. Min introduced a bill to track how climate change is affecting aquatic life, saying to The Orange County Register: "We know that right now, we’re facing extinction crises in a lot of different biomes across the world because of the rapid and aggressive changes in climate... It’s good to start understanding how bad this crisis is, where we’re at risk and maybe get a sense of what we can do about it.” Representative Min also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In an interview with The Hill, he stated that "what has happened is that climate change has dried out our foliage, our flora." Min said in an interview with the Orange County Register: "I just came back from Climate Week in New York City, where the country’s leading experts and advocates on addressing climate change gather each year to discuss next steps. There is great concern right now about the sharp policy reversals that the Trump administration and its Republican allies in Congress have pushed onto our economy. By eliminating the clean energy tax credits that have spurred hundreds of billions of dollars in clean energy investmnent [sic] — including in manufacturing — here in the U.S., President Trump is not simply shifting policy, he is also signaling to investors that they cannot rely on the U.S. government to honor its commitments."

According to the New York Times, in 2022, Moore said: "The climate has been changing in the world since Earth was created... Whether these greenhouse gas emissions are contributing to the warming of the globe, I’m not sure I necessarily agree with that." Furthermore, in 2024, he tweeted: "The climate crisis is a hoax. Carbon mandates are there as a system of control over us!" | 0 | 0 | Representative Moore opposes action on climate change and supports the fossil fuel industry. In an op-ed supporting the One Big Beautiful Bill, he wrote: "Energy is the lifeblood of the Mountain State, and with the One Big Beautiful Bill, we’ll unleash our natural resources like never before. Instead of demonizing fossil fuels to appease radical climate change activists, this bill embraces the precious resources under our feet to power America’s new Golden Age." Moore also praised the rescinding of the EPA greenhouse gas endangerment finding, saying: "By rolling back the Obama-era Endangerment Finding, the Trump Administration has delivered the largest deregulatory action in U.S. history—undoing the climate crisis hoax that drove up prices and cost hard-working West Virginian coal miners their jobs. A massive win for American families, American workers, and American energy dominance." Further, in 2025, he tweeted: "'Net-zero' climate policies have drastically driven up the cost of energy in the West.

| Moore, Tim | North Carolina | 14 | R | Representative Tim Moore does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. He does not clearly state his position, but has often critiqued climate action. In 2025, on Twitter he posted: "Biden’s Green New Deal scam just got exposed. His administration buried a study proving U.S. LNG exports don’t harm the environment — just to justify shutting them down. Less American LNG means higher energy costs, fewer jobs, and forces our allies to rely on countries like Russia for natural gas. It was never about science, they only wanted to score points with the radical left." He has also promoted increased infrastructure for fossil fuels. He signed a letter with several other North Carolina Republicans calling for FERC to approve a pipeline."In addition to modernizing the existing natural gas system, the project is expected to generate over 3,000 direct and indirect jobs for North Carolinians... Affordable and dependable energy is a key factor for resource-intensive industries, such as manufacturing, when determining where to locate their operations... This project is critical for securing a prosperous, energy-secure future for North Carolina," the letter read. | 25 | 0 | Although in the past Representative Moore has supported some bipartisan climate measures, more recently he has become a fierce opponent of climate action. He publicly supported the rescinding of the EPA's greenhouse gas endangerment finding, saying: "We’re allowing more and more job growth, tax cut, capital investment... It’s all a part of the great plan to unleash the American potential." He further defended this position in a letter he wrote, published in GOP News. "In 2009, the EPA issued what’s known as the 'Endangerment Finding,' a legal determination that classified greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide as a threat under the Clean Air Act. That finding became the legal foundation for years of sweeping federal regulations on cars and trucks, including increasingly strict GHG emissions standards and compliance programs that significantly raised manufacturing costs. Over time, those mandates expanded well beyond traditional air pollution controls. They included mechanisms like 'off-cycle credits,' which allowed automakers to meet emissions targets on paper by adding features such as start-stop systems. While framed as climate policy, these layered requirements drove up vehicle prices and limited consumer choice," wrote Moore. In a 2025 tweet, Moore boasted about cutting funding for climate programs: "I just voted to pass President Trump’s $9.4 Billion rescissions package that pulls back funding for propaganda media outlets NPR & PBS, as well as funding for DEI and Green New Scam initiatives in foreign countries. This is just a starting point for putting America’s fiscal house in order."

On the Congressman's, 'Protecting our Envrionment,' page, it states, "There is no debate here: climate change is real and it’s wreaking havoc all over the globe. Each day our country fails to act on climate change, we threaten the future of our children and grandchildren and the long-term vitality of our planet.

In a 2019 press release announcing his sponsorship of the Climate Emergency Resolution (H. Res. 52), which calls for a comprehensive, large-scale approach to address climate change, the Congressman stated, "The science is clear: climate change is real, it is already occurring, and it is a global emergency. We must take action now to protect our planet for future generations. That’s why I’m declaring a climate emergency and strongly supporting the Climate Emergency Resolution to demand immediate and comprehensive action." Rep. Morelle makes climate change a top priority issue. The Congressman introduced the 100% Clean Economy Act, which sets a national goal of achieving a 100% clean economy by 2050. In a press release on the bill the Congressman stated, "The effects of climate change pose an existential threat to our environment as we know it – we need bold, unprecedented action to combat this crisis and protect our planet for future generations.” | 100 | Representative Morelle publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon.

"We are here today because climate change is not a hoax. Climate change is getting worse – and this administration is undermining all the progress we were just beginning to make. This administration is enacting policies that increase emissions at a time when we need to urgently decrease them. And right now, they’re working to take away one of our greatest tools to protect against air pollution and fight climate change by repealing the Endangerment Finding.

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.

| Neguse, Joe | Colorado | 2 | D | Congressman Joe Neguse understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's campaign website, it states, "Joe firmly believes climate change is an existential threat, and one that must be addressed with bold action [...] Joe believes in building a brighter future for the next generation, by safeguarding our planet, tackling climate change and investing in a clean energy economy." | 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." The Congressman voted against a 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H.Con.Res.87). | 100 | 100 | https://joeforcolorado.com/on-the-issues/

| Norcross, Donald | New Jersey | 1 | D | Congressman Norcross understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's 'Environment' page, it states, "We have a responsibility to future generations to leave behind an earth and environment that is clean and sustainable. This responsibility also presents opportunities to create jobs and grow our economy by inventing, manufacturing and installing clean energy technology and other sustainable solutions here in America. Environmentally sustainable policies and investments in renewable energy will reduce America’s dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil, and help address climate change." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Norcross has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In January of 2021, he announced over $233,000 in funding to Rutgers University to research the effects of climate change on ecological diversity. In the News Release, he stated, "Climate change is a serious threat to our communities, with devastating consequences both globally and here in South Jersey...The work being done at Rutgers–Camden is critical to deepening our understanding of how changing temperatures are affecting ecological systems around the world. This funding will advance the vital research being conducted right here to ensure a safe and healthy environment for generations to come.”
Rep. Norcross also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In February 2021, in a 2021 News Release regarding that day's vote on Build Back Better, he stated, "Climate change isn’t coming, it’s already here...Last week, tornadoes and flooding caused by Ida devastated portions of New Jersey, underscoring why we must respond to the climate crisis. Today’s vote sends a clear message: to build back better, America needs historic levels of investment in climate monitoring; we need to fund institutions and universities that are on the cutting-edge of climate research; and we need a climate-ready workforce. Climate change and job creation go hand in hand, and by investing in our climate response we are laying the foundation for economic growth and generating good-paying jobs. I am proud to vote for these vital investments in America’s future to ensure our nation is prepared as climate change brings increasingly extreme weather events to our shores."
Congressman Norcross makes climate change a top priority issue. He 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 | Congressman Norcross has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.The Congressman did not vote in a 2024 resolution by Rep.

| Nunn, Zachary | Iowa | 3 | R | Congressman Nunn does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. | 25 | 0 | Congressman Nunn does not oppose climate action. According to a June 2023 press release on Congressman Mike Gallagher's website, "Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-WI), Jared Huffman (D-CA), and Zach Nunn (R-IA) today introduced the Naturally Offsetting Emissions by Managing and Implementing Tillage Strategies (NO EMITS) Act, a bill that would create incentives for producers to transition their farms to soil health cropping systems. These systems increase farm productivity and reduce net carbon emissions by optimizing the ability to sequester carbon use." However, Nunn also has a very poor record of voting against climate action, and Vote Climate does not consider carbon sequestration to be an effective method of combating climate change. | 25 | Congressman Nunn opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.

| 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.

| Olszewski, Johnny | Maryland | 2 | D | Representative Johnny Olszewski understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On Twitter in 2025, he wrote: "Today marks 20 years after Hurricane Katrina, and extreme weather disasters are only becoming more frequent. From record flooding here in Maryland to fires in the West, climate change is making storms more dangerous and communities more vulnerable." In 2021, Olszewski wrote a op-ed in the Baltimore Sun, stating: "Among the important lessons from the pandemic, we have learned that we have the ability to act with urgency and on a large scale when faced with a crisis. We need to confront climate change with the same sense of urgency." On Twitter in 2025, he wrote: "I’m committed to tackling the climate crisis while advancing clean energy and creating good jobs." | 100 | 100 | Representative Johnny Olszewski has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. Olszewski joined other Maryland Democrats in urging the EPA to keep its 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding. In a letter, they wrote: "We are deeply concerned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposal to eliminate the 2009 Endangerment Finding and what that will mean for Maryland and our constituents’ health and safety. The Endangerment Finding requires the EPA to protect people from the pollution that causes climate change. Denying the danger cannot change the facts: greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels are heating our planet and endangering us all." Representative Olszewski also makes prominent public statements on the issue. While Baltimore County Executive in 2021, Olszewski signed an executive order, setting a goal that the county government will get 100 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2026. Although they did eventually miss this goal, Olszewski wrote that his six-year administration set an aggressive clean energy agenda that included solar projects, converting landfill gas to energy and tree planting. “We did all of this while facing many challenges, from rising energy costs to infrastructural and regulatory hurdles — still making progress while governing amid a global pandemic,” said Olszewski. The current Baltimore County Chief Sustainability Officer believes that, due to this plan, by early 2027 about two-thirds of the county’s energy needs will be met through renewable energy.

| Omar, Ilhan | Minnesota | 5 | D | Congresswoman Ilhan Omar understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congresswoman's, 'Climate Justice' page, it states, "We are in a climate crisis. With increased natural disasters and a warming planet--we need large scale action to combat climate change and ensure everyone has access to clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment. In Congress, my top environmental priority is addressing climate change and helping our country reduce its carbon footprint by transitioning away from a reliance on fossil fuels and moving towards a 100% clean energy economy." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Omar has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a House floor speech supporting the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9), the Congresswoman stated, "The United States is responsible for nearly a third of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today and thus bears more responsibility for the climate crisis than any other country." Rep. Omar also makes prominent public statements on the issue. According to a 2021 Yahoo News article, Congresswoman Omar attended a hearing by the House Oversight and Reform Committee, where "Omar ended her remarks by saying, 'We’re at a tipping point developing fossil fuels now; given the escalation of the climate crisis and its harm to black and brown communities, it is unconscionable. Given each of your roles in these attacks on humanity, you all should resign. Thank you, and I yield back.'” Congresswoman Omar makes climate change a top priority issue. In a 2019 press release announcing the introduction of the Zero Waste Act (H.R. 4050), the Congresswoman stated, "Today, we need elected leaders to champion solutions that match the scope of the challenges we face. Addressing the waste crisis is critical to preventing further damage to our climate—it’s integral to racial justice and a clean, equitable future.” | 100 | Congresswoman Omar has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

Onder introduced the Curtailing Agency Reach and Bureaucracy Overreach on Net-Zero (CARBON) Act. "For too long, uncertainty over federal greenhouse gas regulation has left farmers, manufacturers, and energy producers guessing whether their operations could be delayed or shut down based on outdated and unclear Obama-era regulations. I have introduced the CARBON Act, alongside the Trump Administration’s repeal of the 'endangerment finding,' to restore common-sense limits on federal authority. The CARBON Act returns the Clean Air Act to Congress’s original intent by clarifying that the EPA cannot regulate carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide as 'air pollutants,'" Onder said in a press release.

In a 2021 new conference addressing the 'CLEAN Future Act,' legislation that aims for 100% clean electricity by 2035 he stated, "I really believe that the time for slow, marginal change has gone...You can’t just watch from the sidelines as the climate crisis wreaks havoc on Americans’ health and home. The cost of inaction is staggering — it already is." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Pallone has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. He is the sponsor of the CLEAN Future Act (H.R.1512), legislation that "establishes an interim goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to at least 50% below 2005 levels by 2030 as well as a national goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050," and specifies that "Each federal agency must develop a plan to achieve the goals." Rep. Pallone also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a press release discussing the CLEAN future act and it's role in combating climate change, he stated, "Record wildfires, flooding, heat waves and drought have spelled out a dire reality: the climate crisis is here. New Jersey is on the frontline of this crisis, and we can no longer afford to address climate change along the margins. The CLEAN Future Act provides the kind of serious federal leadership this moment requires...This plan represents our commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas pollution. For the sake of the American people, the long-term sustainability of our economy, and public health, we must act boldly, and that is exactly what we intend to do.” Congressman Pallone makes climate change a top priority issue. He is a co-sponsor of the 100% Clean Economy Act of 2019 (H.R.5221), legislation that "sets a national goal of achieving a 100% clean economy (i.e., economy-wide, net-zero greenhouse gas emissions) by no later than 2050."

Not only is the ice still there but at points between 2012-2016 it actually increased by about 50 percent.

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.

| Pannill Fletcher, Lizzie | Texas | 7 | D | Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher agrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. On her campaign website, the Congresswoman states, "We know that domestic production of oil and natural gas is critical to our national security, our economy, and our energy future. And we know that renewable energy is an increasingly important part of the energy mix. We also know that climate change represents a real and growing threat. We know we are already experiencing its effects." | 50 | 75 | In a 2019 Congresswoman Fletcher co-wrote an op-ed with Congressman Adam Graves (R-LA), they came out in support of offshore drilling, stating, "Opponents of offshore drilling cite the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in their calls for a ban on exploration of the OCS. As members of Congress representing districts along the Gulf of Mexico that have been ravaged by storms made worse by a changing climate, we understand all too well the need to address climate change and reduce GHG emissions. In 2016, the Obama administration Bureau of Ocean Energy Management found when analyzing lifecycle GHG emissions that 'in the absence of new OCS leasing,' emissions could actually increase from reliance on foreign sources of oil and gas. In 2018, oil and natural gas supplied 67 percent of the energy Americans used. In other words, our concern is that these bills will result in greater GHG emissions and further threaten the environment due to the risks associated with the transportation of fuels." Congresswoman Fletcher supports climate action but is not a strong advocate for it. | 50 | Congresswoman Fletcher has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. The Congresswoman voted against a 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 86). | 50 | 62.5 | https://fletcher.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2068

| Perry, Scott | Pennsylvania | 10 | R | Congressman Scott Perry disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. According to a 2018 Penn-Live Patriot News article, the Congressman when asked about climate change, stated, "The climate's changing, without a doubt. I think we contribute to it. I don't know exactly how, and that becomes the rub." The article also stated that the Congressman believed reports that "suggest global surface temperature data often used to corroborate climate change over time has been 'adjusted' to make the planet appear cooler in the past." The Congressman was quoted again, stating, "It opens up an opportunity for skepticism... and I think it's right because what we're talking about is the things we do impact peoples' lives. And we want to proceed based on the facts; not based on suppositions or the facts we hope that we have." | 0 | 0 | In 2016, Congressman Perry introduced the Energy Sovereignty Act (H.R. 4544), which looked to block the Clean Power Plan. The Congressman stated that, "’[Hydropower] only one part of the solution – but it’s much better than this attempt to delegate nearly unlimited power over the energy sector to the unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats at the EPA. Such expansive authority of the EPA would be economically devastating and could threaten the reliability and viability of our Nation’s energy sector." The Congressman sought to cut climate change reporting from the 2018 defense budget according to the York Daily Record, stating that, "My goal with this amendment is to prioritize our limited defense resources on efforts that pose an immediate and direct threat to our national security. A litany of other federal agencies deal with environmental issues." Congressman Perry demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Perry makes public statements or advocates against putting a U.S. fee on carbon. He co-sponsored a 2019 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 41) and voted in favor of a 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con.

| Peters, Scott | California | 50 | D | Congressman Peters 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 Peters 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/energy-environment

| Pfluger, August | Texas | 11 | R | Congressman August Pfluger does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. On his campaign website, regarding energy independence, the congressman writes "I’m proud to support the hard-working oil and gas producers that keep our Texas economy strong. In Washington, I’ll fight back against the oil-hating liberals and work to secure total energy independence for our country." | 25 | 0 | According to a February 2021 press release on his website, "Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) is proud to announce the introduction of his second piece of original legislation, H. Res. 125, which protects the oil and gas industry from executive overreach by recognizing that any policy-making action taken to address climate change should be undertaken by the legislative branch, not through unilateral executive action—which the Biden administration continues to abuse." From a January 2021 press release on his website, "Congressman Pfluger issued a statement: “The Paris Climate Agreement does nothing to save or clean up the planet. With no mechanism to hold China and India—the two largest global polluters—accountable, this agreement merely shackles the United States with job-killing regulations that cost trillions of dollars and imperil our national security."

On her house website, Pingree says "Climate change is real, caused by human activity, and an urgent threat to our way of life. For too long, scientific warnings were ignored and now we’re at a crisis point. To avoid a major, irreversible catastrophe, we must take bold action to become carbon neutral by 2050." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Pingree has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2020 press release supporting the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, she stated, "I’m proud that after years of inaction, Congress has turned the page on climate denial.

| Pocan, Mark | Wisconsin | 2 | D | Congressman Pocan understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. According to Pocan's campaign website, the Congressman states, "At a time when we face high energy and gas prices and see the effects of global climate change in our daily lives, I believe that making the country more energy efficient will not only reduce our carbon footprint, but also will position the U.S. to thrive in a twenty-first century economy. As a member of the Safe Climate Caucus, I am committed to preserving our environment through investments in clean energy capabilities. I subscribe to the notion that if we make investments in the short term, we can ultimately make our energy use more efficient in the long term." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Pocan has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a video from the Safe Climate Caucus, the Congressman stated, "There's no question that increasing levels of CO2 are bad for the planet bad for our country that rising sea levels could have devastating impacts across the globe and that we need to do something about climate change." The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 tweet, the Congressman stated, "Climate change is a reality. Period. Pulling the U.S. out of the #ParisAgreement is not only a blatant refusal to participate in a necessary global fight against climate change, but it threatens ALL life across the world. @realDonaldTrump, you're a failure." Rep. Pocan makes climate change a priority issue as well. He demonstrated this by becoming a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal. | 100 | Congressman Pocan has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Pou, Nellie | New Jersey | 9 | D | Representative Nellie Pou agrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. Pou told EDF Action and Latino Victory Project: "From higher utility bills to being on the front lines of climate change, I know all too well the economic burdens that our Latino communities suffer, but those burdens have never deterred us... Today our communities face great challenges. On top of those challenges, climate change is making things worse. Communities across America are paying more and getting less. By investing in green jobs and energy, we ensure every American has a fair shot all while expanding opportunities and investing in our communities. Congress has a responsibility to improve quality of life and ensure no community is left behind." However, Pou does not list climate change as one of her priorities on her campaign website, instead focusing on issues such as affordability and healthcare. | 50 | 100 | Representative Nellie Pou supports climate action but is not a strong advocate for it. On her website, she writes that in her first 100 days she "[h]arshly criticized the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement and joined a congressional resolution condemning America’s withdrawal and abdication of leadership to fight climate change." However, Pou has not taken much climate action beyond this. She did help to pass a surface transportation bill, saying: "This bill delivers major wins for New Jersey and our communities by strengthening public transportation, investing in safer roads and bridges, improving rail infrastructure, cutting congestion and pollution, and supporting projects that keep our state economy moving." | 50 | Representative Nellie Pou has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 62.5 | https://www.edfaction.org/news-resources/why-action-on-costs-and-climate-matters-to-hispanic-communities/

| Pressley, Ayanna | Massachussetts | 7 | D | Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. Speaking on the Road to the Green New Deal tour, the Congresswoman stated, "The impacts of climate change are intersectional on our public health, on our human migration, on national security. And so we come here tonight to advance bold, innovative and, yes, unapologetic, aspirational policy.” | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Ayanna Presley has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. On Congresswoman Pressley's campaign site's, 'Issues,' page, it states, "Climate change presents a number of serious threats to public health, including longer heat waves, more frequent extreme weather, and decreased air quality." The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. According to a 2022 press release, "Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07)...issued a joint statement on reported delays by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in issuing new disclosure rules regarding climate change risk: 'The climate crisis is here, and it is already having a significant impact on our communities and our economy. We cannot wait for our country’s largest corporations to decide whether they take climate change seriously when extreme floods, heat waves and storms are already devastating our neighborhoods. Just as we must use every tool to prevent climate catastrophe, we must act with strength and urgency to protect our financial system from climate risk. We are alarmed that the Securities and Exchange Commission’s climate-change disclosure rule has been delayed. We urge the Commission to act swiftly and issue a strong rule that holistically accounts for a company’s climate contributions and addresses the urgent need to act on climate-related financial risk.'” Congresswoman Pressley makes climate change a top priority issue. In a 2021 press release "Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), a member of the House Financial Services Committee, along with Congressman Mondaire Jones (NY-17) and Rashida Tlaib (MI-13), introduced the Fossil Free Finance Act, legislation to require the Federal Reserve (Fed) to mandate large banks and other Systemically Important Financial Institutions (SIFIs) align their financing of greenhouse gas emissions with science-based emissions targets. The Fossil Free Finance Act requires the Fed to acknowledge the existential threat climate change poses to the core tenants of its monetary policy and supervisory mandates and act to mitigate the financial stability threats of climate risk." | 100 | Congresswoman Pressley has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Quigley, Mike | Illinois | 5 | D | Congressman Mike Quigley understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'The Ticking Clock of Climate Change,' page, it states, "An investment in our environment is an investment in our future. Climate change is an urgent threat to everyone on the planet, threatening lives and livelihoods by jeopardizing clean air, clean water, and healthy and diverse ecosystems. We can’t afford to sit back and continue to do nothing. As President Obama said, 'We’re the first generation to feel the impact of climate change, and the last generation that can do something about it.'" | 100 | 100 | Congressman Quigley has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. On his 'Energy/Environment' page, it states, "We live in a time of unprecedented threat to our environment. From pollution to habitat degradation to the global crisis of man-made climate change, the evidence all around us is clear that we must act to protect our planet and everything living on it...I believe that climate change represents an existential threat to the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans and billions around the world and that Congress must act with the urgency and ambition that climate science demands. For these reasons, I was an original cosponsor of the Green New Deal, a bold and aspirational proposal to transition our economy away from reliance on fossil fuels." The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. He is a co-sponsor of the America's Clean Future Fund Act (H.R.2451), legislation that "establishes requirements and incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and assist industries, communities, and workers transition to a low-carbon economy, including by establishing (1) the Climate Change Finance Corporation (C2FC); (2) the America's Clean Future Fund; and (3) a carbon fee on the use, sale, or transfer of certain fuels by covered entities." Rep. Quigley makes climate change a top priority issue. According to a 2021 press release, during a floor speech about reentering the Paris Climate Agreement, the Congressman stated "President Biden’s commitment, necessary as it was, will not itself reduce America’s emissions enough to meet our 2015 promise to the world or stem the climate crisis. For that, Congress must act urgently. We must reject the bad faith talking points about a false dichotomy between environmental stewardship and economic growth and openly embrace the idea that a sustainable economy is dependent upon a sustainable environment." | 100 | Congressman Quigley has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Randall, Emily | Washington | 6 | D | Representative Emily Randall understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a press release, she stated: "I have the honor of representing one of the most beautiful districts in the nation. From the Hoh Rainforest to Vaughn Bay, Port Townsend to Grays Harbor — Washington’s 6th Congressional District and its diverse communities know the importance of combating the climate crisis." Further, in 2024 she posted on Twitter: "Washington’s 6th has incredible natural beauty - from the Olympics to the South Sound, our communities know we must combat climate change and protect public lands." | 100 | 100 | Representative Emily Randall has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. Randall Introduced the TERRA Act, which would remove red tape for Tribal Nations to attain federal resources to manage and respond to climate disasters. "Climate change is already impacting all Americans... Right here at home, we have seen rising tides, wildfires and dwindling natural resources as a consequence. No one knows this better than Tribal Nations, who have been stewards of this land since time immemorial. Our promise to safeguard Tribal sovereignty must extend long into the future – which means ensuring Tribal Nations have the resources necessary to navigate the changing climate," said Randall in a press release. Representative Emily Randall also makes prominent public statements on the issue. On her campaign website, she writes about her plan to fight climate change. "We must make a just and fair transition away from fossil fuels and invest in clean energy jobs and infrastructure. The United States has a responsibility to be a leader and innovate new ways for countries to accelerate their transitions to a more green and clean economy.
I will work closely with labor and industry to find ways for workers to gain new skills and transition to the jobs that our changing economy and environment needs. I am committed to building an economy that is sustainable, and that protects those among us most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. We must focus on renewable energy, and climate-neutral industry that protects not only today’s economy, but the ability for our grandchildren to live and work as well," stated Randall. Representative Emily Randall makes climate change a top priority issue. | 100 | Representative Emily Randall has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Raskin, Jamie | Maryland | 8 | D | Congressman Jamie Raskin understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a testimony in the Senate Budget Committee, Raskin criticized Big Oil for avoiding climate accountability. Raskin said 'In the 1960s, the science of global warming was well understood by Big Oil. Instead of telling the world about the perils of global warming and working to change their business model, the companies suppressed relevant scientific findings for decades and came to challenge and contradict urgent calls by scientists to take climate change seriously as a global threat. As the experts told us, this pattern of lying and evasion set the country back decades in our ability to seriously address and manage climate change." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Raskin has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. The Congressman co-wrote an editorial for the Baltimore Sun, which stated, "With no time left to debate the delusional dogmas of climate denialism, we must develop policies to break quickly and permanently from the carbon economy and invest in renewable energy and a far more resilient national infrastructure." Rep. Raskin also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a September 2019 press release urging President Trump to prioritize climate change in the renegotiated NAFTA deal, the Congressman stated, "The Paris Agreement represents the type of global cooperation that our trade deals should aspire to, and has the support of 185 countries, including our NAFTA trading partners. This is the most basic lens through which we should negotiate all trade deals.” Congressman Raskin makes climate change a top priority issue. The Congressman is a co-sponsor of Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal (H.Res 109). | 100 | Congressman Raskin publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. On his campaign sites, 'Climate Change,' page, it states, "Jamie will champion a sweeping carbon tax along with market-based solutions to stimulate renewable energy development and steadily and dramatically reduce carbon fuel consumption." Congressman Raskin 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). 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. | 100 | 100 | https://www.budget.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/honjamieraskintestimonysenatebudgetcommittee.pdf

| Reschenthaler, Guy | Pennsylvania | 14 | R | Congressman Guy Reschenthaler does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. According to a 2020 post on 'Twitter,' the Congressman stated, "The reason the global temp is rising is due to China’s disregard for the environment and emissions standards." | 25 | 0 | In a 2019 press release supporting the president's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, Congressman Reschenthaler stated, “This was an unfair deal that put our country at a disadvantage by giving a free pass to the world’s worst polluters while forcing unrealistic demands on our national economy. As our nation reaches its energy dominance and continues to reduce emissions through innovation, House Democrats want us to put our economic growth, jobs, and security at risk by forcing President Trump to implement the Paris Agreement.” According to his website, the Congressman states, "As a member of the House Energy Action Team, I am on the front lines fighting against radical proposals that would kill our coal, oil, and natural gas industries and the family-sustaining jobs in southwestern Pennsylvania that go with them." Congressman Reschenthaler demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Reschenthaler opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Riley, Josh | New York | 19 | D | Representative Josh Riley understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In 2023, Riley wrote on Twitter: "Climate change is an existential threat. Let’s meet the moment by creating good-paying, clean energy jobs in Upstate New York." In a 2023 post on Medium, Riley wrote: "Climate change is an existential threat to my son’s generation and beyond, and it needs to be addressed with urgency and seriousness. We are past time to confront this challenge, and I will fight every day to protect Upstate New York’s environment." | 100 | 100 | Representative Josh Riley has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. Riley was one of three representatives to introduce the Conservation and Regenerative Optimization Practices for Farming Act, or the CROP for Farming Act, a targeted, bipartisan proposal to strengthen conservation efforts and equip farmers with new tools to improve soil health, enhance productivity, and reduce harmful emissions through voluntary practices. In a press release, Riley stated: "Upstate farmers are leading on climate-smart ag—using cover crops, rotational grazing, and precision fertilizer to cut emissions and rebuild the soil. The CROP for Farming Act makes sure USDA conservation funding supports those efforts. It directs more resources to practices that fight climate change and strengthen rural economies. It’s practical, it’s bipartisan, and I’m proud to sponsor it." Representative Josh Riley also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In an interview with The River, Riley said: "I have a two-year-old son. Part of the reason why I’m running for Congress is I want him to grow up in a democracy that’s functioning, a planet that’s habitable, and an economy that’s fair. I think that climate change is an existential threat to the planet, one of the biggest challenges we are facing. Also for the same reason, I think it is one of the best economic opportunities and job creation opportunities we have in upstate New York. I’ve talked to folks across this district about climate change in the context of economic development and revitalizing the economy. We have endless opportunity and promise across upstate New York to start making and manufacturing the technologies that we need to address climate change." Furthermore, Riley introduce a bill that supports clean energy manufacturing projects across the country by increasing funding transparency. "We’re bringing home good manufacturing jobs to build the batteries, solar panels, and semiconductors the world needs to save the planet, and I’m not going to let a bunch of lackeys for the oil industry undermine us with weak arguments based on bogus data. My bipartisan bill ensures we have transparency and reliable data to assess these projects," Riley wrote in a press release.

| Rivas, Luz | California | 29 | D | Representative Luz Rivas understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In an op-ed written in Spanish in La Opinión, Rivas writes "We Californians know all too well the very real threats of climate change. Just a year ago, my first days in Congress were marked by the Eaton and Palisades wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles County." (Translated to English). On the House floor in 2026, Representative Rivas said: "Southern California is no stranger to heat especially in the summer. However, due to climate change, periods of extreme heat in Southern California, especially in the San Fernando Valley, are becoming more common, more intense, and more harmful." Representative Rivas attended COP26 in 2021, and said in a press release "Climate change is no longer a future problem waiting for us to act upon – it is already here... Extreme climate events are wreaking havoc across the globe and escalating in severity each year. Millennials and Generation Z have already mobilized as key leaders in climate and environmental activism because they know their generations will have to live with the consequences of a changed climate." | 100 | 100 | Representative Rivas has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. She introduced a resolution supporting the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. In a press release about the resolution, she stated: "The Trump Administration’s elimination of the GHGRP will leave environmental justice communities without the tools needed to address the harmful environmental, health, and economic impacts of climate change. My resolution protects environmental justice communities and preserves the GHGRP from the Trump Administration’s reckless actions." Representative Rivas also makes prominent public statements on the issue. Upon joining the House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition, she is quoted in a press release saying: "Clean energy and the health of environmental justice communities, like mine in the San Fernando Valley, are under attack by the Trump Administration... In this critical moment, it is imperative to champion bold solutions that not only preserves our environment, but ensures future generations have a livable planet with clean air, safe drinking water, and protected public lands. I am excited to... address climate change, protect our environment, and fight for environmental justice communities.” Furthermore in 2023, while the California legislature, Representative RIvas proposed a bill that "would require the science area of study to include an emphasis on the causes and effects of climate change and methods to mitigate and adapt to climate change." Representative Rivas makes climate change a top priority issue. | 100 | Representative Rivas has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 87.5 | https://laopinion.com/2026/01/23/mientras-los-angeles-ardia-trump-provoco-las-llamas-del-proximo-desastre/

| Rogers, Mike | Alabama | 3 | R | Congressman Mike Rogers disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In response to the 2014 U.S. National Climate Assessment which reported that heatwaves and more intense storms would be exacerbated by global warming, the Congressman was quoted in a press release found on Rep. Roby's page, which stated that, "President Obama and his Administration will stop at nothing to push his radical environmental policies onto our economy. This report is another chapter of the EPA's War on Coal, and lays the groundwork for yet another regulatory end run around Congress. These policies, if not stopped, will cost American families in higher electricity rates and hurt good paying jobs." | 0 | 0 | According to the Alabama Political Reporter in June 2021, "Alabama Congressman Mike Rogers, R-Alabama, and Rep. Ken Calvert, R-California, wrote an op-ed Tuesday in Defense News" where they state that "... 'the administration redirects nearly $650 million in critically needed military modernization and procurement funding to climate change and to monitor the social media accounts of our servicemembers,” Rogers and Calvert wrote. "These initiatives have nothing to do with ensuring we have a lethal force ready to “fight tonight”. When we dedicate scarce defense funding to global climate change, biofuels initiatives, and social engineering experiments with military personnel you can almost hear the cheers and laughter of our adversaries.'” Congressman Rogers demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Rogers makes public statements or advocates against putting a U.S. fee on carbon. According to Oanow.com, during a 2019 town hall, when asked if he supported carbon fee legislation the Congressman said he would not. He also voted in favor of a 2018 resolution by Rep.

The Congressman also supported the President's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement stating in a 2017 press release, "It simply isn’t fair for American manufacturers and other businesses to be held to a standard that their competitors in India and China are not.

Despite this, the Congresswoman voted for a 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 86). | 50 | 51 | https://mariaelvirasalazar.com/issues/

| Salinas, Andrea | Oregon | 6 | D | Congresswoman Salinas understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On her campaign website, she states "In Congress, Andrea will fight for the urgent action we need to protect our planet and natural resources. She knows we need to address climate change, but also focus on the profound and harmful impacts it has on low-income and BIPOC communities. Andrea wants to ensure that marginalized communities are provided with opportunities to prosper in a new, clean energy economy and not further harmed or marginalized by the impacts of climate change. Her approach to fighting climate change is simple: we must take bold steps, while making sure we create living wage jobs and not leave anyone behind in the process." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Salinas has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. The Congresswoman has cosponsored climate action legislation such as H.Con.Res.37, expressing the sense of a climate emergency, and the Methane Emissions Research Act (H.R.4072). Responding to two of her bills being unanimously passed through committee, Congresswoman Salinas said in a press conference "These bills will strengthen the collaboration between government agencies to build resiliency to climate change and help ensure that Oregon farmers and communities have access to the latest emerging technologies. I thank Chair Lucas for his partnership and look forward to advocating for this legislation as it advances through Congress.” | 100 | Congresswoman Salinas has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

On the Congresswoman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "We are already witnessing the devastating effects of climate change. The science is clear that if we do nothing to reduce and eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, these effects will continue to worsen. Both current and future generations will pay a heavy price for our inaction." | 100 | 100 | In a 2020 tweet, Congresswoman Sanchez states "The threat of climate change is real. Updating our nation’s water infrastructure is critical to making our communities more resilient to its effects." According to Solar Power World Online in 2021, "Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-CA) introduced the Residential Solar Opportunity Act, which would ensure working families and homeowners have the same access as corporations to tax incentives for deploying solar power generation." The Congresswoman’s website and position papers advocate for climate action, but not as a top priority issue. | 75 | Congresswoman Sanchez 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).

| Scalise, Steve | Louisiana | 1 | R | Congressman Scalise disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a 2019 interview with CBS This Morning, when asked about climate change the Congressman, stated, "First of all, we do know that the earth's temperature changes -- it goes up and down... In the 1970's, they said we were entering a new cooling period." In a quote published by The Times-Picayune, the Congressman stated on climate change that, "While their global warming agenda continues to lose support, it's ironic that radical environmentalists are at it again, less than a month after NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), announced the Great Lakes had the most widespread ice coverage in over 35 years... Thirty years ago liberals were using global cooling to push new radical regulations. Then they shifted their focus to global warming in an effort to prop up wave after wave of job-killing regulations that are leading to skyrocketing food and energy costs." | 0 | 0 | According to the The Times-Picayune, the Congressman supported President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, stating, "The radical United Nations Paris Accord on global warming is more about wealth redistribution than protecting the environment. It's a plan to allow the U.N. to take control of America's purse strings and take billions of dollars a year away from the United States and send it to other countries under the veil of a misguided global warming agenda, and I applaud President Trump for pulling out of this disastrous agreement." In a press release on the Paris Agreement, the Congressman stated, "The Obama Administration needs to finally abandon their radical climate change agenda that is killing jobs and increasing costs for American families.” Congressman Scalise demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | The Congressman demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy and votes against climate action. He is the lead sponsor of a 2021 resolution 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). He lead the charge for the same resolution in 2016, 2018, 2019. In a press release supporting the 2018 resolution, he stated, ""I think the case is very clear by anybody who's looked objectively at what a carbon tax would do to the economy. It would be devastating to our manufacturing base, it would kill jobs, and I think most devastating, Mr. Speaker, it would rise in increased cost for families all across this country." He also signed the Americans for Prosperity “No Climate Tax” pledge. In 2013, Rep. Scalise proposed an amendment that would have required Congress's approval before passing a carbon tax (H. Amdt. 448 to H.R. 367). In a press release he stated, "President Obama’s plan to impose a tax on carbon would cause household electricity rates to skyrocket while destroying millions of American jobs. The House sent a strong bipartisan message to President Obama that a tax on carbon would devastate our economy and he needs to drop any idea of imposing this kind of radical regulation." | 0 | 0 | https://www.cbsnews.com/news/scalise-sidesteps-climate-change-debate-earths-temperature-goes-up-and-down/

| Schmidt, Derek | Kansas | 2 | R | Representative Derek Schmidt does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. However, Schmidt consistently opposes climate action. "When I served as your Kansas attorney general, I went to court time and again to stop Biden's radical climate agenda. I'm running for Congress to keep standing tall against big government policies that fuel inflation and make everything from electricity to gasoline to groceries more expensive," he tweeted in 2024. Schmidt also supports continued reliance on fossil fuels. He wrote in a tweet from 2022: "Gasoline prices are at record highs, but the Biden administration keeps wanting to make it even harder to produce and process oil in the United States. This time, they want to make it more difficult to build and maintain pipelines." | 25 | 0 | Representative Derek Schmidt demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. While he was the Kansas Attorney General in 2022, he wrote on Facebook: "Today we stopped the Biden administration from implementing its Green New Deal without approval from the people’s elected representatives in Congress. Today’s ruling confirms that unelected Washington bureaucrats cannot write federal law to fit their preferences for energy production and the American economy without congressional authority." In 2025, he wrote in a press release about his support for the rollback of Biden era methane regulations, stating that "the Biden methane fee would cripple the small producer oil and gas production we have in eastern Kansas, hurting thousands of small businesses, workers, and landowners. This week’s votes are a step toward rolling back the intrusion of big government into our lives and making energy more affordable for Kansans." In 2022, Schmidt wrote in a tweet: "Enjoyed visiting with independent oil & gas producers at the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association conference in Wichita. America needs domestic energy to meet our needs, grow our economy, bring down gas prices, and help hardworking Kansas families afford their energy bills." Despite consistently favoring fossil fuels, Schmidt claims to be "an all-of-the-above guy when it comes to energy policy," in a 2024 interview with the Emporia Gazette. | 0 | Representative Derek Schmidt opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.

| 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, "Nothing is more fundamental than the air we breathe and the water we drink. And there is nothing more important for us to do than to protect our planet for the next generation. 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 2024 resolution by Rep. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 86). | 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." | 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 voted against a 2024 resolution by Rep.

| Sewell, Terri A. | Alabama | 7 | D | Congresswoman Terri Sewell understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In an August 2021 tweet, the Congresswoman stated, "Extreme tornadoes. Raging wildfires. Unprecedented heat waves. Severe droughts & floods. We’re seeing the disastrous effects of climate change play out before our eyes & we cannot afford to wait. The #ClimateCrisis is urgent and requires bold action. NOW." | 100 | 100 | In a 2019 press release introducing the Carbon Capture and Sequestration Extension Act (H.R. 5156) Congresswoman Sewell stated, “It is critically important that Congress supports innovative approaches to reduce emissions, and carbon capture technology is essential to that fight.” But In a 2014 press release supporting coal, she stated, "Although we must prepare to diversify our energy production, I am committed to supporting coal as a viable source of energy in Alabama until alternatives become more economically feasible.” She also does not list climate change as an issue on her website. Congresswoman Sewell supports climate action but is not a strong advocate for it. | 50 | Congresswoman Sewell has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

| 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 2024 resolution by Rep.

| Shreve, Jefferson | Indiana | 6 | R | Representative Jefferson Shreve does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. Although he does not state his opinion on the existence of climate change, he has argued for increased US production of fossil fuels. On his website he writes that he is a cosponsor of the Restoring Executive Authority for Offshore Energy Leasing Act, which would "lower energy prices by repealing President Biden's ban on offshore drilling, establishing US energy independence, and increasing oil and gas production in the US." Shreve visited a coal-fired power plant and wrote on Twitter: "Energy policy will be front and center in Congress next year. America must become more energy independent if we want to drive down inflation. I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about Hoosier energy production while touring @HalladorEnergy's Merom power plant." | 25 | 0 | Representative Jefferson Shreve demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. Shreve boasts of efforts to increase supply of fossil fuels to lower prices, writing on Twitter: "This week, @HouseGOP voted to roll back Biden-era rules that pushed energy costs higher. I’m working to unleash American energy and cut red tape so Hoosier families see lower gas prices and utility bills." Furthermore, Shreve met with representatives from a gas corporation and wrote in a tweet: "Had lunch yesterday with the Ohio Valley Gas team in Randolph Co. At a time when Hoosier families need affordable energy options, Joe Biden has been imposing burdensome regulations, driving up prices. I’ll fight against government overreach, defend Hoosiers’ pocketbooks and support American energy independence." | 0 | Representative Jefferson Shreve has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 18.75 | https://shreve.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-shreve-delivers-conservative-promise-first-weeks-new-congress

| Simon, Lateefah | California | 12 | D | Representative Lateefah Simon understands the importance of action on climate change as a top priority issue. Simon wrote on her campaign website: "The climate emergency is the biggest existential threat to our globe. In CA-12, we are experiencing the harrowing impacts of extreme weather patterns, deadly heat waves, and rising sea levels on our coastal cities, inland communities, and hillside residents. Communities of color, people living in low-income zip codes, and fenceline communities have been hit hardest by the impacts of climate change. Folks who were redlined into neighborhoods with high biohazards, communities dealing with fires at refineries, and people living in housing ill-equipped to deal with unhealthy air quality during wildfire season are still impacted and can’t catch up. As a mother of two, Lateefah fears what her daughters and their kids will face if we don’t act with strong, bold solutions. That is why, once elected to Congress, Lateefah will stand up to the fossil fuel industry and work with colleagues to build on the progress made in the Inflation Reduction Act and pass the Green New Deal. Critical to this work is the transition to net-zero emissions and our continued investment into clean energy alternatives." In a tweet, she stated: "The climate crisis is the single biggest threat to our existence. I'm ready to fight for policies that protect the environment so our children and grandchildren inherit a better planet." | 100 | 100 | Representative Lateefah Simon has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action as a top priority issue. In 2025, Simon tweeted: "Yesterday, President Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, the most ambitious climate change agreement in history. The oil and gas industry is the biggest winner, every day Americans and our future generations are the losers. This is not the way." Representative Lateefah Simon also makes prominent public statements on the issue. She stated on Twitter: "Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement is a betrayal of our duty as stewards of the earth. Californians have suffered wildfires, droughts, and environmental injustice -
@POTUS’ decision to throw aside climate goals condemns our planet and children to a future of hardship." Representative Lateefah Simon makes climate change a top priority issue. | 100 | Rep.

| Simpson, Mike | Idaho | 2 | R | Congressman Mike Simpson disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. On the Congressman's climate change page, it states, "Many scientists agree that the earth’s climate is changing, and these assertions are backed up by land managers who are witnessing changes in plants and animal behavior as the climate shifts. While scientists cannot explain the climate changes of the past few decades without including the effects of elevated greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations resulting from the use of fossil fuels, there is widespread disagreement as to the magnitude of human influence on the climate and the degree to which any effort by humanity to reduce carbon output would slow or reverse the effects of climate change." | 0 | 0 | In a 2019 press release opposing the Green New Deal, the Congressman stated, "Proposed as an economic and environmental transformation, the Green New Deal is an irresponsible ploy that should have our nation green with nausea rather than envy... The crusade against “farting cows” might be considered noble or a bit funny by some in the Bronx, but to the ranchers who are up before the sun feeding cows, this isn’t a joke." Congressman Simpson demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Simpson makes public statements or advocates against putting a U.S. fee on carbon. On his climate change page, he states, "I am concerned, however, regarding efforts to tax carbon output or to layer so many regulations on top of carbon-based energy sources that it they become unfeasible. I don’t think this is an answer to the energy crisis facing our nation—not only does it make energy production so expensive that American families will see their energy bills increase to unsustainable rates, but it also forces us to continue depending on foreign sources of energy."

| Smith, Adam | Washington | 9 | D | Congressman Adam Smith understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's campaign website, the 'Energy and Environment' page states, "It is an indisputable fact that the earth’s climate is warming and changing, and poses a grave threat to the entire world. Over the last century, the global temperature has risen and research suggests that the global average temperature today is among the highest since human civilization began flourishing. Over the course of human development, the use of fossil fuels, increased deforestation, agricultural production, and other types of human activity have increased the concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG), such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and tropospheric ozone in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide levels, for example, have risen by almost 40 percent over the last 150 years and are contributing to a 30 percent increase in ocean acidification. Two thirds of global GHG are produced by ten primary emitters: China, the United States, the European Union, India, Russia, Japan, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, and Iran." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Smith has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a 2020 press release tying climate change to the Great American Outdoors Act (H.R. 1957), the Congressman stated, "As the impacts of climate change increasingly harm communities around the country, this bill is an enormously important investment in our children, our environment, and our quality of life that will help protect the great outdoors for generations to come.” The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In support of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis climate action plan, the Congressman stated, “The climate crisis is an existential threat that requires a comprehensive and drastic mobilization of resources." Rep. Smith makes climate change a top priority issue. He demonstrated this by becoming a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal. | 100 | Congressman Smith has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

On the Congressman's campaign website, it states, "America should be at the forefront of the effort to reduce fossil fuel emissions and confront the threat of climate change. That's why I'm fighting in Congress to invest in renewable energy, protect our environment, and reduce the financial burden on students who graduate with degrees in science and technology. We have the opportunity to build a clean energy economy and drastically reduce our fossil fuel emissions; we can't afford to lose the progress we've made." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Soto has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. During a 2020 town hall, the Congressman introduced the Climate Leadership and Environmental Action for our Nation’s (CLEAN) Future Act, which would ensure the United States achieves net-zero greenhouse gas pollution no later than 2050. The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 Energy & Commerce Committee Hearing on climate change, the Congressman described what needed to be done to protect future generations, stating, "To avoid surpassing 1.5 degrees Celsius global carbon dioxide emissions would have to drop around 45% below 2010 levels by 2030 and reached zero emissions by around 2050... This challenge is not about the folks behind the dais it's not about most of the folks in the audience it's about Lincoln and his generation and what we're gonna do in 2050 we're gonna look back and say did we do what we needed to get done." Rep. Soto makes climate change a top priority issue. The Congressman introduced the Ban Fracking Act (H.R. 5857), a federal bill to phase out fracking nationwide in the United States. In a 2020 press release introducing the bill, he stated, "We cannot deny the overwhelming scientific consensus any longer—fracking is a threat to our health, safety and environment. If we want to transition from fossil fuel emissions as we work towards building a 100 percent clean economy, pulling back from fracking is a critical first step. Failure to act will only make the crisis at hand even more detrimental for future generations of Americans.” | 100 | Congressman Soto has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon.

According to the Congressman's website, Thompson states, "...I will remain committed to providing resources and outreach in the community, while continuing to advocate for... increases in domestic production of fossil fuels. Lands onshore and offshore contain significant amounts of natural gas, petroleum, and coal that can fuel our energy needs for centuries." | 0 | 0 | In a 2020 press release, the Congressman condemned calls to ban fracking, stating, "As we look ahead to future relief and recovery measures, we must continue to stand up against Democrat calls to “ban fracking” or incorporate extreme Green New Deal policies. We should instead support proposals to strengthen our supply chains, enhance our national security, and provide more Americans with access to affordable natural gas.” Congressman Thompson demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Thompson opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.

During a 2019 Congressional hearing discussing climate change, the Congressman stated, "Climate change is real and the consequences are impacting our district. All of the expert witnesses in today’s hearing – Democrats and Republicans – agreed that this crisis is real and worsening. From the more devastating fires, to more frequent flooding, our communities face increased health and economic effects." Rep. Thompson makes climate change a top priority issue. In a 2019 press release co-sponsoring the Green New Deal, the Congressman stated, "Climate change is the most existential threat we face today. I have long said that if we do not act now nothing else we do matters because there won’t be a planet to pass on to our children. That’s why I am a proud, original cosponsor of the Green New Deal, a resolution stating the steps we must take to address climate change." | 100 | Congressman Thompson has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. On the Congressman's, 'Energy & Environment,' page, it states, "That’s why I voted for legislation to require the Administration to draw up a plan to reduce emissions and why I support market-based solutions to regulating carbon emissions."

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." 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."

During a 2019 House Committee on Financial Services hearing, in which several executives from big banks were in attendance, the Congresswoman stated, "But for the sake of this hearing, I'll say that you are greenwashing your own track record and duping the American people into believing that you are helping address climate change. On the record, will any of your banks make a commitment to phase out your investments in fossil fuels and dirty energy?" Rep. Tlaib also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 interview with Jamal Simmons, when asked about climate change, the Congresswoman stated, "I don't think people understand the true impact of doing nothing."

| Tonko, Paul D. | New York | 20 | D | Congressman Paul Tonko understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Climate Change,' page, the Congressman lays out a 'Framework for Climate Action in the U.S Congress,' stating, "We agree that climate change is real. We agree humans are driving it. We agree that we need to build solutions that meet the scale and urgency of the crisis we face. The principles outlined in this document are meant to provide a framework that moves the lines of our agreement forward and helps us build a comprehensive national climate action plan together." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Tonko has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. The Congressman voted against the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) due to its failure in addressing climate change, stating in a 2019 press release, "The United States must get serious about the challenge of a changing climate and build international cooperation and commitments through all vehicles available to us, including our trade agreements. Trade negotiations do not happen frequently, but their impact is felt for generations. I cannot support a deal which fails to even acknowledge the global climate crisis that future generations will be left to bear.” The Congressman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2019 press release supporting the Paris Agreement, the Congressman stated, "While the Trump Administration wastes precious time denying the scientific realities of climate change, Americans are fleeing its devastating effects in the form of wildfires, flooding and storms unlike anything we have seen before. Decades of science-based evidence have made clear that bold action is necessary to prevent the deadliest and most costly effects of climate change." Rep. Tonko makes climate change a top priority issue.

| Torres, Norma | California | 35 | D | Congresswoman Norma Torres understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congresswoman's, 'Energy and Environment,' page, it states, "I have demonstrated a commitment to taking on challenges like drought and climate change that are impacting California. I’m proud to work hard to ensure that the land, air, and water are kept clean through supporting sensible legislation aimed at preventing pollution while balancing economic development and environmental conservation. My priorities include promoting energy efficiency, renewable energy sources like solar, as well as increasing investments in water infrastructure and funding development of new technologies that have the capacity to expand water recycling and desalination capabilities." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Torres has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. In a 2019 press release, the Congresswoman announced a legislative proposal that would have prevented President Trump from limiting cities and states, like California, from taking ambitious actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2021 tweet, the Congresswoman stated, "Fighting climate change is about our kids and grandkids. 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.

And New York needs to change along with it." Under 'justice' on the issues page of his campaign website, Congressman Torres writes "The Green New Deal is not only an agenda for environmental justice, but it is also one for economic justice and racial justice. Severe pollution is lethal in communities like the Bronx, where 20% of children have asthma -- 12% higher than the national average. We have to radically restructure the American economy and society around renewable energy.

No more harmful offshore drilling projects or reckless cuts to clean energy infrastructure." In a tweet from 2025, Tran wrote: "The impacts of climate change grow more severe every day, making our CA-45 community more vulnerable to devastation by natural disasters." However, Representative Tran focuses more on issues like abortion, education and healthcare, and does not mention climate change as one of his issues on his website. | 75 | 100 | Representative Tran supports climate action but is not a strong advocate for it. In 2024, Tran responded in a Q&A in the Orange County Register that "I am proud to refuse donations from oil companies and the fossil fuel industry, and if elected, I would work to lower gas prices by making corporate oil and gas companies pay their fair share." Tran is also a signee on a letter to the EPA calling on the agency to maintain its Endangerment Finding for greenhouse gases. The Endangerment Finding, signed in 2009, establishes that greenhouse gas emissions are a main driver of climate pollution, acknowledges the dangers of climate change, and is the legal foundation that allows the EPA to fulfill its mission to protect human health and the environment. | 50 | Representative Derek Tran has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 68.75 | https://www.facebook.com/derektranforcongress/posts/its-an-honor-to-receive-the-endorsement-of-the-sierraclub-to-continue-my-work-in/122281798868067546/

| Van Drew, Jeff | New Jersey | 2 | R | Congressman Jeff Van Drew agrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a 2019 press release discussing the Green New Deal, he stated, "I believe that climate change is real, is driven mainly by human activity and that it is driving real-world changes such as extreme weather events, hotter temperatures, rising sea levels and ocean acidification. I believe that the United States has a moral and economic imperative to mitigate the impacts of climate change. However, I do not think that H.J. Res. 109, the Green New Deal is the right solution.” | 50 | 0 | According to a 2020 Insider NJ Article, the Sierra Club revoked their previous endorsement, saying "Van Drew claims that he will protect our lands and is against offshore drilling, but voted in support of Trump’s Executive Order (EO 13817) which would ease safeguards and protections for leasing and mining on public lands. He also claims that he believes in climate change and supports our nation staying in and abiding by the Paris Climate Agreement, but he voted to strip federal funding to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the UN Convention on Climate Change."

However, Van Epps is a proponent of fossil fuel expansion. On Twitter, he wrote: "The best way to empower the American energy sector is to open federal lands for drilling, approve more permits, advance nuclear projects, and support American coal plant production—all things President Trump has done in his first year." He expressed a similar sentiment on his campaign website, saying: "He will partner with President Trump to rebuild our economy — bringing manufacturing back to America, unleashing American energy, and creating good-paying jobs. Matt's priority is simple: put Tennessee families, workers, and small businesses first." | 25 | 0 | Representative Van Epps opposes climate action and promotes fossil fuels. On Twitter, he wrote: "When Democrats were in charge, they fueled inflation, made homes more expensive to build, and restricted American energy. Now they’re blaming Republicans for the costs their policies helped create—and asking voters to give them the power to do it again." In another tweet, Van Epps stated: "President Biden’s decision to cut off oil and natural gas costs Americans an estimated $1.8 trillion. Under President Trump, the war against energy is over.

On his campaign website, Vargas writes "The climate crisis is here, and unless we take action at national and global level, it will only get worse. Underserved communities and people of color are disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change.

On his campaign website, he wrote: "Eugene believes that confronting climate change is both a moral responsibility and an economic opportunity. He supports bold investments in clean energy, efforts to reduce carbon emissions, transitioning away from fossil fuels, lowering energy bills for Virginians and policies that position Virginia as a leader in the green economy." Vindman has espoused similar opinions on Twitter. "I’m running for Congress to protect against the climate crisis, defend reproductive rights, and save our democracy from extremists hellbent on destroying it," posted Vindman. | 100 | 100 | In a debate, Representative Vindman said that he supports an "all-of-the-above energy approach" until a transition to solar, wind and nuclear energy becomes feasible. An "all-of-the-above" strategy includes expanding domestic production of fossil fuels and is counterproductive to reaching zero carbon emissions. However, in the past, Vindman has expressed support for climate action. "For years, my son Max and I spent our weekends cleaning the Neabsco Wetlands. Our family loves outdoor spots like the Neabsco Creek Wetlands, and we want to keep them gorgeous for generations to come. But, that takes work. Fighting the climate crisis must be at the forefront Congress' agenda.

Furthermore, on his campaign website, he states: "In Congress, I worked with Gerry Connolly to pass legislation addressing climate change. In Fairfax, I’ve led the effort to reduce emissions, improve air quality, and clean up our parks, streams, and green spaces. In Congress, I’ll push for clean-energy investment, strong air and water protections, and Chesapeake Bay restoration." | 100 | 100 | Representative James Walkinshaw has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. On his congressional website, he wrote: "Congressman Walkinshaw knows that confronting climate change is a defining challenge, and an opportunity to build a cleaner, healthier, more prosperous future. On the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, he delivered on his commitment to make Fairfax carbon neutral and helped lead efforts to install solar on County buildings, convert the vehicle fleet to electric, and empower residents and businesses to reduce their carbon footprint. He spearheaded the County’s five-cent plastic bag fee, raising millions for litter prevention while slashing plastic pollution, and advanced the County’s Zero Waste initiative to cut landfill waste and embed sustainability into every part of local government. In Congress, James supports bold federal action to mobilize federal investments in cheap clean energy, climate resilience, and green jobs. He is also fighting to secure expanded funding for the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Program to accelerate cleanup of one of our nation’s most vital waterways. Walkinshaw opposes reckless efforts to expand offshore drilling that threaten our coasts, our environment, and our economy -- which is why he cosponsored the Defend our Coast Act. He is also working to repeal the anti-climate provisions of Trump’s so-called 'Big Beautiful Bill,' including rollbacks on clean energy tax credits and incentives that will undermine America’s transition to renewable energy and drive up utility costs for hardworking families." Representative James Walkinshaw also makes prominent public statements on the issue. On his campaign website, he wrote: "James ran for the Board of Supervisors with a commitment to addressing the climate crisis and expanding clean energy in Fairfax County. As Chair of the Board’s Environmental Committee, he led the transition of County buildings to solar energy, converted the vehicle fleet to electric, spearheaded Fairfax’s five-cent plastic bag fee — which has raised millions while dramatically cutting plastic pollution — and launched the County’s Zero Waste initiative. The Trump administration is dismantling clean energy investments, canceling projects, and throwing away tens of thousands of American jobs in the process — all while rolling back the environmental protections that keep our air clean, our water safe, and the Chesapeake Bay healthy.

This is a president who appointed a vocal climate science denier to head the Environmental Protection Agency, then removed a majority of scientists from the EPA’s Board of Scientific Counselors.

| Waters, Maxine | California | 43 | D | Congresswoman Waters understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In response to the World Bank President David Malpass’s denial of climate change, she stated, "President Malpass’s refusal to accept the overwhelming scientific consensus that human activity, specifically, the burning of fossil fuels, is the main driver of climate change is appalling...President Malpass’s unwillingness to acknowledge the central role that fossil fuel emissions play in climate change calls into question the Bank’s commitment to meeting the climate challenge, including efforts to help ensure a just transition away from fossil fuels in developing countries." In a 2017 press release rebuffing President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement Congresswoman Waters stated, "If Trump withdraws from the Paris agreement, it could cause the entire agreement to collapse, accelerating climate change and exacerbating its impacts on human communities, impacts which include deadly hurricanes, severe droughts, and rising sea levels." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Waters has demonstrated leadership on climate change by advocating for climate action. In a 2019 press release condemning President Trump's decision to slash California transportation funding, the Congresswoman stated, "We will continue to resist his heartless, corrupt, and cruel administration. We will win our lawsuit and protect our right to enforce strong emissions standards, fight climate change, and protect public health.” The Congresswoman makes prominent public statements on the issue. During the nomination of Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, the Congresswoman released a statement stating, "Rex Tillerson’s record of misinformation on climate change is also a reason for grave concern about his ability to be a credible and effective Secretary of State.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of bankruptcies in the oil and gas sector as a result of the economic fallout from COVID-19 has provided a preview of the type of pain our economy will likely face as climate change becomes worse.

| Westerman, Bruce | Arkansas | 4 | R | Congressman Westerman agrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In an interview with CSPAN, Westerman stated "When we look at what's happening with climate, if you look at what we know from polar ice caps on the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, pre-industrial revolution in the modern period, it didn't get above 300 parts per million [...] now we are over 400 parts per million. Westerman lated added "I think that we can address the climate issue. Long term there are a lot of things that have to happen. It can't happen overnight, just like climate change doesn't happen overnight." In an interview with NC Newsline, Westerman doesn't reject the scientific consnensus on climate change but voices opposition to most climate action targeting fossil fuels saying "The Democrats’ approach is to remove fossil fuels, which maybe someday we can do that, but we’re a long way from getting to that point."
| 50 | 0 | Congressman Westerman supported President Trump's announcement to leave the Paris Agreement, stating in a 2017 press release, “I applaud the Administration's decision to lead like America has historically led...by example. The United States can be more effective illustrating to the rest of the world what sound environmental stewardship looks like by innovating and continuing to be the best when we lead and set the standard versus signing agreements with foreign governments and allowing others to direct how we operate.” During a 2017 Congressional hearing, Rep. Westerman doubted climate change stating, “I assume if the climate’s changing, it’s changing in Arkansas, as well as other places. So I did a little research and found out the number of forest fires in Arkansas has actually decreased over the past 20 years. It’s either held level or slightly decreased as our management has continued to increase. So apparently the climate change isn’t affecting forest fires in my state. You would think even though it’s a more moderate or temperate climate if climate change was causing more fires we would see a lot more of them than what’s in the baseline.” Congressman Westerman demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Westerman opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Whitesides, George | California | 27 | D | Representative George Whitesides understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. In a tweet, Whitesides writes: "It is clear that anthropogenic climate change is real. When I was at NASA we increased the earth science budget to enable scientists to better understand global warming and our planetary climate system." Furthermore, he has spent much of his career talking about the danger of wildfires, especially with the increasing effects of climate change. "This risk is increasing, and if we don't get our act together, we're going to have more Paradises. We're going to have more Santa Rosas. We're going to have more Lahainas. We're going to have more Marshall fires like the one they had in Colorado... Eight of the 10 largest megafires in California history have happened over the last five or six years. Partly that's due to global warming," Whitesides said in an interview with NPR in 2023. | 100 | 100 | Representative Whitesides has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. While in Congress, he proposed the Global Climate Resilience Act, legislation that would create a new debt-for-resilience program to improve the United States’ ability to provide climate finance and debt relief to countries in the Global South. "I’ve seen the extreme financial impact that natural disasters like wildfires have on my community and state, and that problem exists at scale across the globe... The Global Climate Resilience Act asserts U.S. leadership in combating climate change, while also addressing widespread debt by creating better pathways for countries in the Global South to invest in resilience measures for natural disasters. By making it easier for countries with developing economies to implement climate resilience initiatives, we can help facilitate a global effort to combat climate change with more nations and international organizations," Whitesides said, according to a press release. Representative Whitesides also makes prominent public statements on the issue. He signed a letter to the California Air Resources Board. The letter sates: "As Members of Congress committed to addressing the climate crisis and protecting the health of Californians, we urge the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to strengthen its regulations on landfill methane emissions and prioritize the wellbeing of frontline communities." However, according to Politico, Whitesides voted to block Governor Newsom’s order phasing out the sale of new entirely gas-powered vehicles by 2035. Overall, Representative Whitesides makes climate change a top priority issue. | 100 | Representative Whitesides has no known or an inconsistent position on a U.S. fee on carbon. | 50 | 87.5 | https://x.com/gtwhitesides/status/1654593256473378816

| Wied, Tony | Wisconsin | 8 | R | Representative Tony Wied does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. He has argued for increased fossil fuel usage, saying: "I owned and operated gas stations for nearly 30 years in #WI08. The average cost of building a gas station is approximately $2-$4M. Biden’s average cost for 7 EV charging stations? $1,071,428,571.43 Biden’s Green New Deal is a total scam!" Similarly, Wied celebrated lower gas prices. "This is what happens when you unleash American energy. It’s clear: when our country is energy dominant, Americans pay less at the pump," Wied posted on Twitter. | 25 | 0 | Representative Wied publicly supported the One Big Beautiful Bill, which will increase carbon emissions and is a boon to the fossil fuel industry. "Over the last few months, House Republicans have worked hand in hand with President Trump to craft One Big Beautiful Bill that will extend tax cuts for hard-working families, secure our border, unleash American energy," said Wied in a press release. In an interview with a local Fox station, he further laid out his opinion on energy and fossil fuels. "In my first term in office, we've done amazing things as it relates to being energy dominant in this country. Whether that's pulling back regulations or, you know, at a minimum signaling that we want to be dominant here in the United States, as it relates to energy production, but also in the Western Hemisphere, places like Venezuela and throughout our hemisphere here, we are dominant right now. We have great refining capacity," stated Wied. These statements, combined with his votes against climate action, show a pattern of opposition to progress on climate.

On her campaign website, Williams states "If we do not take bold action now to halt the harmful effects of the climate crisis, we are facing irreversible and life threatening changes - especially for those in Black and Brown communities.I fully support the Green New Deal, because as we have seen in Flint, Michigan and countless other instances in our country, environmental justice and the climate crisis are hand-in-hand. We already know what actions we must take as a country, and we must not wait any longer because people’s lives are at stake.

I believe we must continue to explore offshore, in locations where natural resources are abundant, for even more opportunities that may support American efforts to reduce dependency on foreign oil. A key energy project which would directly support our desire to wean ourselves of foreign oil while at the same time adding hundreds of thousands jobs here at home is the Keystone XL Pipeline.

| Womack, Steve | Arkansas | 3 | R | Congressman Steve Womack disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a 2018 article by the Times Record when asked about climate change the Congressman stated, "The climate changes — it has throughout history. The real debate is who or what is causing it?... We have yet to find an exact answer, but there are a range of arguments and research to support varying views. Our goal should always be to put forth novel, market-based solutions that protect our environment and balance economic interests. America has been a leader of innovation in this sector, and it’s important that other countries also do their fair share. By being good stewards and advancing an all-of-the-above energy plan, we can support productivity and sustainability for the future.” | 0 | 0 | In 2021 Womack criticized the Green New Deal saying "This bill is undeniably more of a vehicle to appease the socialist left rather than a serious attempt to prioritize our nation’s infrastructure needs. The bloated, big-government approach implements more Green New Deal mandates than actual provisions to support roads and bridges." In a 2023 press release, Womack opposed climate action stating "America’s farmers and small businesses have suffered under constricting, hyper-regulatory policies, typical of the left’s agenda. The Interior Appropriations bill releases this chokehold by repealing the flawed WOTUS rule, halting permitting requirements for livestock emissions, and unleashing energy production" and voting to limit the EPA's powers. | 0 | Congressman Womack opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.
