Vote Climate
U.S. PAC developed a first-of its-kind, national climate-change voter's guide, giving every incumbent and challenger for a seat in the U.S. House
and U.S. Senate a - Climate Calculation - a score for voters to take to the
polls on Election Day, Tuesday November 6th. Our climate calculations,
ranging from Climate Hero to Climate Zero, will help each voter in America to vote
climate in the 2018 mid-term elections.
It is unprecedented that a national, climate-change voter's guide has assessed incumbents and challengers. This voter's guide goes beyond votes in Congress to assess position, leadership and putting a fee on carbon. Vote Climate U.S. PAC's historical effort has the potential to dramatically shift American politics toward climate-action.
