Global warming legislation was killed in the Senate by filibuster. We need 60 pro-environment votes in the Senate to break that filibuster. Join me in supporting candidates who will vote to address global warming.

Mark Udall (CO-Senate)

Rep. Mark Udall has been a leader on clean energy issues since serving the Colorado State House. In Congress, he serves as co-chair of the House Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucus, and his 99% LCV lifetime score puts him among the highest scoring members of Congress. Rep. Udall’s opponent, former Rep. Bob Schaffer, has been named to LCV’s Dirty Dozen and has a LCV lifetime score of 5%. All available polling shows that this race is extremely close.

Jeanne Shaheen (NH-Senate)

As governor of New Hampshire from 1997-2003, Jeanne Shaheen worked with members of both parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. She has said that “reversing global warming and becoming energy independent are not just our most urgent environmental challenges, they are among the most urgent of all our national and international challenges.” The incumbent, Sen. John Sununu, has a LCV lifetime score of 35%. At various times the available polling has shown both candidates with leads.

Tom Udall (NM-Senate)

In the House, Tom Udall has been a leader in efforts to end our addiction to fossil fuel, develop clean, renewable sources of energy and reduce global warming pollution. In particular, he has introduced bi-partisan legislation requiring 15 percent of electricity come from renewable energy sources. Udall will face a tough general election against either Rep. Heather Wilson or Rep. Steven Pearce, who have earned lifetimes scores of 14% and 1%, respectively, and have consistently sided with Big Oil and other polluting energy special interests.

Andrew Rice (OK-Senate)

Andrew Rice has challenged Senator James Inhofe, infamous member of the LCV Dirty Dozen and frequent friend to Big Oil. Inhofe is the Senate’s leading opponent of clean energy technologies and voted against tax credits to help renewable energy companies like Berger Wind Power Co. succeed. Having accepted more than $999,000 from the oil and gas industry, Inhofe voted for billions in taxpayer subsidies to the oil industry. Inhofe has repeatedly voted against laws to make our cars and trucks get better fuel mileage, which will cost the average family thousands of dollars over the next few years.
