DENVER, Colorado – Environment America Action Fund announced Tuesday that it is endorsing the re-election of U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Seth Magaziner.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is a proven champion for the environment, with his work in ocean conservation and addressing climate change. Sen. Whitehouse supported the landmark Inflation Reduction Act, in which he secured clean energy incentives and a methane fee provision. Whitehouse also introduced a bill establishing a National Endowment for the Oceans (S. 973) and the REDUCE Act (S. 2844), which tackles the most wasteful single-use plastics. Due to his dedicated work and long relationship with Environment America Action Fund, we are endorsing Sen. Whitehouse for re-election in Rhode Island.

Rep. Magaziner has been a dedicated climate activist since serving as Rhode Island’s general treasurer, supporting clean energy projects and issuing class-action lawsuits against oil & gas companies for spills. While in Congress, he has supported the Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act (S. 2337), the New England Coastal Protection Act (H.R. 9273) to prevent oil & gas leasing, and introduced his IMAGINE Act (H.R. 6411) to improve the climate resiliency of American infrastructure. Therefore, Environment America Action Fund endorses Seth Magaziner for re-election in RI-02.

“Senator Whitehouse and Representative Magaziner have been long-time champions for a greener future,” said Environment America Action Fund Treasurer Wendy Wendlandt. “Both Rhode Island and the entire United States will benefit from another term of their leadership on environmental conservation.”

Environment America Action Fund works to protect our environment by supporting candidates for public office who champion clean air, clean water, wilderness preservation, and strong action to prevent global warming. The Environment America Action Fund is a part of the Environment America family of organizations.
