Representative Clark Earns High Marks on Environmental Scorecard

I'm a member of the Natick community and would like to share the understanding I've gained working at ELM with my community

On February 26, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) released the 2024 National Environmental Scorecard, with Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, earning a 100% A+ rating. Our senators, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey also earned 100% scores. We need more thoughtful leadership on the federal level and 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 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 their fight to build a brighter clean energy future.
