According to a 2019 press release, "Congresswoman Escobar successfully added two amendments to the NDAA that will make our military more adept at mitigating climate change." | 100 | Congresswoman Escobar publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. Rep. Escobar co-sponsored the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act of 2019 (H.R. 763). The Congresswoman voted against a 2024 resolution by Rep.

| 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. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con.

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

| 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.

| Jayapal, Pramila | Washington | 7 | D | Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On the Congresswoman's campaign website, it states, "Pramila is standing up to climate change deniers in Congress and fighting for immediate action on climate change — pushing to reduce carbon emissions in the U.S. and around the world. She is a proud co-sponsor of the "100 by '50" Act, which lays out a road map to achieve 100 percent renewable energy by 2050, including a just transition for workers in the fossil fuel industry. Pramila understands the dire consequences any further delay will have on our environment, public health, and local fishing and tourism industries." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Jayapal has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. The Congresswoman brought a climate scientist as her guest to the 2019 State of the Union, stating in a press release, "Climate change is creating refugees, claiming lives and costing taxpayers billions of dollars. The Trump administration continues to push our planet down a path of destruction. Instead of tackling the problem head-on, President Trump is burying his head in the sand and handing out favors to his friends in the coal industry.” Congresswoman Jayapal also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a 2020 Twitter post, the Congresswoman stated, Boldly taking on climate change isn’t something we can compromise on — the fate of our communities and our planet is at stake." Rep. Jayapal makes climate change a top priority issue as well.

| Johnson Jr., Henry C. | Georgia | 4 | D | Congressman Johnson understands the importance of climate action but not as a top priority issue. On the Congressman's, 'Environment,' page, it states, "We cannot achieve or maintain a high standard of living if our environment is severely degraded or damaged. The window of opportunity to secure our natural environment against existential threats produced by human activity is rapidly closing. Humans are in large part responsible for climate change, a potentially devastating threat to our security and health that must immediately be addressed." | 100 | 100 | Congressman Johnson has demonstrated leadership on climate change through advocating for climate action. In a 2018 press release being recognized for his 100% environmental voting record by Environment Georgia, the Congressman stated, "Protection of our imperiled planet is the central challenge of our time.

In a 2020 meeting with Climate Climate Lobby volunteers, the Congressman stated, "Every American and indeed every person on this planet is affected by this public health crisis, but yet, in these times of isolation, self-reflection, and fervent politicking, it is all the more important that we take a step back and acknowledge the effect we are having on our planet." Rep. Johnson makes climate change a top priority issue as well. In a 2022 press release, "Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) criticized Shell for a 2020 company statement, saying that its operating plans, outlooks, budgets and pricing assumptions “do not reflect” its emission reduction targets.

The Congressman's, 'Climate Change & Natural Resources,' page, it states, "Rep. Levin knows that the climate crisis is the defining issue of our time. With California experiencing worsening droughts, heat waves, and rising sea levels, Rep.

Congressman Levin also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a Q&A with the San Diego Union Tribune, the Congressman when asked about climate change, stated, "I think that the fossil fuel industry had an opportunity to invest in technology and innovation and to change their business model but instead they decided to invest in politicians. And that’s what they’ve done. And I’ve got colleagues, I don’t want to name them but smart, Republican colleagues who their own districts are facing climate change today." Rep.

| Liccardo, Sam | California | 16 | D | Representative Sam Liccardo understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. “We have grave threats facing Pacifica — and those grave threats are the same threats facing our country,” said Liccardo during a press conference along Pacifica’s scenic shoreline. “Unfortunately, we have a president of the United States who is unwilling to stand with communities like Pacifica. These threats — coastal erosion, climate change, wildfires — are real.” While Mayor of San Jose in 2022, Liccardo was a speaker at COP27. He is quoted as saying “San Jose continues to be a global leader for climate action, through innovative solutions that green the grid, and electrify buildings and transit, as our residents and businesses move aggressively towards our carbon neutral by 2030 goal." | 100 | 100 | Representative Sam Liccardo has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. While in his first term, according to his website, he "launched two major regional initiatives—the Wildfire Resilience Partnership and the Partnership for the Coastside’s Future—to strengthen federal, state, and local coordination as our region confronts the inevitable impacts of climate change.” As mayor of San Jose, Sam Liccardo pledged to make the city carbon neutral by the end of the decade, becoming one of the largest cities in the United States to have set the goal of carbon neutrality by 2030, according to the United States Conference of Mayors. Representative Sam Liccardo also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In an interview with San Jose Spotlight in 2024, Liccardo said: "I am passionate about the need to accelerate our transition from fossil fuels to renewables to confront climate change. During my tenure as mayor, San Jose demonstrated the most ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction efforts in the nation. We made San Jose the largest city in the nation to launch a community choice energy program; today, San Jose Clean Energy provides 95% GHG-free energy to 1 million residents, resulting in the reduction ocommunity-wide GHG emissions by 36% between 2009 and 2021." Representative Sam Liccardo makes climate change a top priority issue. | 100 | Representative Sam Liccardo publicly supports and advocates for a U.S. fee on carbon. In an interview with San Jose Spotlight in 2024, Liccardo stated that he supports "a carbon dividend + fee border adjustment, a halt on fracking and offshore drilling, and an elimination of subsidies for oil and gas production" in order to accelerate the transition away from Fossil Fuels. | 100 | 100 | https://liccardo.house.gov/media/in-the-news/rep-sam-liccardo-pushes-back-against-trump-cuts-after-50-million-loss-threatens

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

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 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. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 119). | 100 | 100 | https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/legislation/climate

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

| 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.

| 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.

| Ross, Deborah | North Carolina | 2 | D | Congresswoman Deborah Ross understands the importance of climate action as a top priority issue. On her campaign website, the congresswoman writes, "Climate change is one of the most imminent threats facing our country, and we must take immediate action to address it. I have been a champion on environmental and climate issues, voting repeatedly to protect our land and water for future generations. As a state legislator, I voted to support clean energy, oppose fracking, and address climate change in North Carolina. We must modernize our electric grid to increase the distribution of renewable energy and we need to create incentives to expedite battery storage for intermittent renewable resources. These measures will reduce our need to use fossil fuels for energy." | 100 | 100 | Congresswoman Deborah Ross has demonstrated leadership by advocating for climate action. In a 2020 questionnaire from 'Indy Week,' when asked about policies she supports to address climate change, Congresswoman Ross answered "I have been a longtime champion of environmental issues in North Carolina and will continue to be a champion as a member of Congress...I have promoted renewable energy investments in North Carolina and will continue to do so. We must modernize our electric grid to increase the distribution of renewable energy, and we need to create incentives to expedite battery storage for intermittent renewable resources." The congresswoman also makes prominent public statements on the issue. In a tweet posted in July 2021, Congresswoman Ross wrote "Wildfires on the West Coast are spreading smoke all the way to Raleigh. We have to put aside partisan politics and address climate change NOW. We can't wait to act." Congresswoman Deborah Ross makes climate change a top priority issue. According to the 'League of Conservation Voters,' "She understands the urgent need to fight the climate crisis, invest in our clean energy future, and protect the country’s natural beauty. In Congress, Ross will continue this leadership by working to advance the clean energy economy, diversify transportation, and make addressing climate change a top priority." | 100 | Congresswoman Deborah Ross publicly supports and advocates for 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. Ryan Zinke that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con.

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.

| 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. 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.87). | 100 | 100 | https://torres.house.gov/issue/energy-and-environment
