DENVER, Colorado — Environment America Action Fund announced Tuesday that it is endorsing the re-election of U.S. Reps. Mikie Sherrill and Frank Pallone, in addition to endorsing U.S. Rep. Andy Kim to be a U.S. senator from New Jersey 

Rep. Mikie Sherill is a champion of environmental issues, from her bill to help pollinators and reduce flooding with native plants (H.R. 6832) to her cosponsorship of the Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act (H.R. 7634). Additionally, as chair of the House Science Subcommittee on Environment, Rep. Sherrill held vital hearings on flood mitigation, drinking water contamination and climate resiliency. Therefore, Environment America Action Fund is endorsing Rep. Mikie Sherrill for re-election in NJ-11.

For more than two decades, Rep. Frank Pallone has shepherded environmental progress in Congress. He has been an influential advocate for key environmental legislation, from the Inflation Reduction Act to the COAST Anti-Drilling Act (H.R. 1320) and efforts to save endangered North Atlantic right whales. For this and his work to support Superfund cleanups, vessel speed rules, EV infrastructure, and methane emissions reduction, Environment America Action Fund is endorsing Pallone for re-election in NJ-06.

Rep. Andy Kim is a proven environmental advocate, having long pushed for conservation efforts and climate action. In a divided House of Representatives, Rep. Kim has been a voice of reason and bipartisanship. He  helped enact  the nation’s largest-ever investment in clean energy via the Inflation Reduction Act. He has also been a key figure in environmental disaster recovery as well as disaster insurance reform. With the threats of climate change on our heels, pragmatic voices such as Rep. Andy Kim are sorely needed, so Environment America Action Fund is endorsing him in New Jersey’s U.S. senate race.

“New Jersey needs leaders who put the environment and public health first,” said Wendy Wendlandt, Treasurer of Environment America Action Fund.  Representatives Mikie Sherrill, Frank Pallone and Andy Kim will continue to do just that.”

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.
