MADISON – Wisconsin Conservation Voters’ national affiliate the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) has announced the scores for Wisconsin’s delegation in the 2024 National Environmental Scorecard. The scorecard highlights how some members of Congress supported environmental protection and democracy, while others failed to do so.
The 2024 scorecard, based on votes on critical issues including climate change, clean energy, and public health, reveals a troubling pattern of some legislators supporting harmful policies. For the second consecutive year, extreme members of the House embraced chaotic, anti-environmental amendments and messaging bills, causing significant gridlock.
“We saw extreme House Republicans manufacturing chaos at the expense of our environment and democracy,” said LCV Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, Tiernan Sittenfeld. “Unfortunately, this is a preview of what we may face in 2025.”
The scorecard includes eight Senate votes and 33 House votes, with half focused on confirming qualified judges and the rest opposing vital environmental safeguards.
The full Wisconsin delegation’s scores for 2024 are:
Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D) – 100 percent
Sen. Ron Johnson (R) – 0 percent
Rep. Bryan Steil (R-1st) – 6 percent
Rep. Mark Pocan (D-2nd) – 100 percent
Rep. Derrick Van Orden (D-3rd) – 6 percent
Rep. Gwen Moore (D-4th) – 97 percent
Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-5th) – 3 percent
Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-6th) – 3 percent
Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-7th) – 0 percent
Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-8th) – 0 percent
LCV has been publishing the National Environmental Scorecard since 1970, scoring votes on crucial environmental issues to distinguish which legislators support environmental protection. The full scorecard and vote details are available at scorecard.lcv.org.
