Candidates who promise to tackle environmental goals win in 2020 election

Up and down ballots across the country Tuesday, voters elected candidates who promised to protect the environment.

"From Sen. Ed Markey in Massachusetts to Rep. Andy Kim in New Jersey to newcomer Carolyn Bordeaux in Georgia, voters supported pro-environment candidates this election," said Wendy Wendlandt, Environment America’s acting president. "We look forward to working with these green champions to deliver on the promise of cleaner energy, cleaner air and water, and better protected public lands for all Americans. Those promises united voters from across the political spectrum. Now, we must turn to the important work of transforming votes into grassroots support for these very reforms."
