Washington, D.C.– The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) congratulates Representative-elect Shomari Figures on his win in Alabama. We look forward to working together in the 119th Congress and beyond to continue making progress on addressing the climate crisis and protecting our democracy.

“Alabamans have a long history of fighting against voter suppression and environmental racism,” said LCV President Gene Karpinski. “They deserve a leader like Representative-elect Shomari Figures who will fight on their behalf to protect democracy and the safety of communities in Alabama and nationwide. We look forward to the opportunity to work with Representative-elect Figures to advance a clean energy future that lowers costs and protects our health.”

Representative-elect Figures is just one of the climate champions who won up and down the ballot in Alabama, demonstrating that leaning into environmental issues is both good policy and good politics.
