Washington, D.C.– The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) congratulates Representative-elect Wesley Bell (MO-01) on his victory. 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.

“Missourians chose to reject extremism and politicians beholden to Big Polluters by electing Wesley Bell,” said LCV President Gene Karpinski. “We are thrilled to work with this exciting new champion who is committed to building Missouri’s clean energy future and achieving justice for communities across the state who have been impacted by pollution and the climate crisis.”

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