LCV Statement On MAGA House Republican Giveaway to Big Polluters

Washington, D.C.— In response to today’s House votes that are a giveaway to Big Polluters, H.R.3397, H.R.615, H.R.764, and H.R.3195, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) issued the following statement from Conservation Program Director America Fitzpatrick:

“The Biden-Harris administration spent Earth Month building on their already-impressive environmental record with even more bold, historic action to tackle the climate crisis and environmental injustice, create jobs, lower energy costs, reduce pollution, and protect public lands. Extreme MAGA Republicans were back in session for less than a day before attempting to start rolling that progress back. These extreme bills are a gift to Big Polluters and would have devastating impacts on our country’s public lands and waters, and wildlife at the expense of the climate and our communities.”

Last night, LCV sent a letter to the House to oppose H.R. 6285, H.R. 3397, H.R. 3195, H.R. 2925, H.R. 764, and H.R. 615. LCV will strongly consider including votes on these bills in the 2024 National Environmental Scorecard.
