Representative Pressley Earns High Marks on Environmental Scorecard

On February 26, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) released the 2024 National Environmental Scorecard, with Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, earning a 91% A rating. Our senators, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey earned 100% A+ scores. Our nation needs more thoughtful leadership on the federal level, and we are lucky to have these three lawmakers representing our district and state.

For 55 years, the Scorecard has analyzed the environmental records of members of Congress. Massachusetts’ entire congressional delegation earned A or A+ scores, placing it among the highest-ranking delegations in the country.

Massachusetts’ delegation remained dedicated to our collective values, voting against cuts to clean energy investments and a House agenda that catered to corporate polluters. Their continued efforts are critical as we face escalating federal challenges to our nation’s climate investments and programs. Our communities, economy, and planet are at stake, and I trust that our delegation will not let up on the fight for a brighter clean energy future.

LCV and its state affiliate, the Environmental League of Massachusetts (ELM) Action Fund, applaud champions like Representative Pressley, Senator Markey, and Senator Warren, for prioritizing urgent climate action and the health of our communities.
