Each month, LCV shares five stories about the impact of our work. This month, we’re focusing on our movement’s efforts in the 2024 elections, the federal and state races we helped win for pro-environment, pro-democracy champions, and the volunteer organizers who power our movement — and where we go from here.

Voters nationwide overwhelmingly elected candidates who ran on lower bills and cleaner energy. Here’s what you need to know about the winning candidates in key races in New Jersey, Virginia and Georgia, and how their policies will benefit you and your energy bills.

Across the country, voters turned out to elect state and local leaders who will make enormous decisions to protect our environment and democracy. Our state affiliates invested all year to make sure environmental champions won these races.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans' attacks on clean energy have raised utility bills for people nationwide. In response, state leaders are advancing clean energy to lower energy costs and pollution. Here are the most important state laws and actions so far this year, and how LCV and our state partners in the Conservation Voter Movement helped make them happen.
