Washington D.C– Today, to cap off MAGA extreme Republicans’ so-called “anti-woke week,” which included Project 2025-inspired votes to hurt families’ retirement in the face of climate risks and block citizen’s access to voting (particularly for voters of color), and with a Republican-created government shutdown on the line, the House voted on a Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn EPA’s new tailpipe pollution standards for light- and medium-duty vehicles. In response to this vote and other efforts to rollback the progress the Biden-Harris administration has made in addressing the climate crisis, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) released the following statement from Vice President of Federal Policy Matthew Davis:

“To cap off their so-called ‘anti-woke week,’ extreme MAGA House Republicans have once again put polluters before people by advancing a resolution to block clean vehicle standards that would benefit families across the country, regardless of where they live or what car they choose to drive. Transportation is the largest source of climate pollution, and the EPA’s standards for cars and light trucks would save families money at the pump while reducing tailpipe pollution that harms both public health and the environment. But MAGA Republicans want to throw these benefits out the window to appease their Big Oil allies. LCV urges House Republican leadership to stop wasting time with votes that hurt our communities and environment and instead do their most basic job of funding the federal government.”
