CONSERVATIVE CLIMATE CAUCUS WHAT WE BELIEVE • The climate is changing, and decades of a global industrial era that has brought prosperity to the world has also contributed to that change. • Private sector innovation, American resources, and R&D investment have resulted in lower emissions and affordable energy, placing the United States as the global leader in reducing emissions • Climate change is a global issue and China is the greatest immediate obstacle to reducing world emissions. Solutions should reduce global emissions and not just be “feel good” policies • Practical and exportable answers can be found in innovation embraced by the free market. Americans and the rest of the world want access to cheaper, reliable, and cleaner energy • With innovative technologies, fossil fuels can and should be a major part of the global solution • Reducing emissions is the goal, not reducing energy choices WHAT WE DO • Educate House Republicans on climate policies and legislation consistent with conservative values • Organize co-dels and staff-dels to better understand technologies and issues related to climate • Organize Member and staff briefings on conservative climate proposals • Bring Republicans to the table to fight against radical progressive climate proposals that would hurt our economy, American workers, and national security • Introduce Republican members and staff to leaders in industry, think tanks, and more WHO WE ARE • John Curtis (Utah-03); Energy and Commerce • Garrett Graves (Louisiana-06); Select Committee on Climate (Ranking Member), Transportation and Infrastructure, Natural Resources • Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Washington-05); Energy and Commerce (RM) • Bruce Westerman (Arkansas-04); Transportation and Infrastructure; Natural Resources (RM) • Glenn Thompson (Pennsylvania-15); Agriculture (RM), Education and Labor • Michael McCaul (Texas-10); Foreign Affairs (RM), Homeland Security • Frank Lucas (Oklahoma-03); Financial Services, Science, Space and Technology (RM) • Richard Hudson (North Carolina-08); Energy and Commerce, Republican Conference Secretary • David McKinley (West Virginia-01); Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee RM • Andy Barr (Kentucky-06); Financial Services, Foreign Affairs, Republican Study Steering Committee • Dan Newhouse (Washington-04); Appropriations, Western Caucus Chair • Burgess Owens (Utah-04); Education and Labor, Judiciary • Chris Stewart (Utah-02); Appropriations, Intelligence • Chuck Fleischmann (Tennessee-03); Appropriations • Cliff Bentz (Oregon-02); Natural Resources, Judiciary • Andrew Garbarino (New York-02) Homeland Security, Small Business • David Joyce (Ohio-14); Appropriations, Modernization, Ethics • Blake Moore (Utah-01); Armed Services, Natural Resources • David Valadao (California-21); Appropriations • Debbie Lesko (Arizona-08); Energy and Commerce • Doug Lamborn (Colorado-05); Natural Resources, Armed Services • Jeff Fortenberry (Nebraska-01); Appropriations • Jeff Van Drew (New Jersey-02); Transportation and Infrastructure, Homeland Security • Kelly Armstrong (North Dakota-AL); Energy and Commerce • Lee Zeldin (New York-01); Financial Services, Foreign Affairs • Mariannette Miller-Meeks (Iowa-02); Education and Labor, Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security • Mark Amodei (Nevada-02); Appropriations • Markwayne Mullin (Oklahoma-02); Energy and Commerce, Intelligence • Michael Burgess (Texas-26); Energy and Commerce, Rules, Budget • Michael Cloud (Texas-27); Oversight and Reform, Agriculture • Michael Waltz (Florida-06); Armed Services, Space, Science and Technology • Nancy Mace (South Carolina-01); Transportation and Infrastructure, Oversight and Reform, Veterans Affairs • Pat Fallon (Texas-04); Armed Services, Oversight and Reform • Peter Meijer (Michigan-03); Homeland Security, Foreign Affairs, Science, Space and Technology • Rick Crawford (Arkansas-01); Agriculture, Transportation and Infrastructure, Intelligence • Stephanie Bice (Oklahoma-05); Armed Services, Space, Science and Technology • Tim Burchett (Tennessee-02); Foreign Affairs, Transportation and Infrastructure • Tim Walberg (Michigan-07); Energy and Commerce, Education and Labor • Troy Balderson (Ohio-12); Agriculture, Transportation and Infrastructure • Robert Latta (Ohio-05); Energy and Commerce, • Chris Jacobs (New York-27); Agriculture, Budget • Michelle Steel (California-34); Transportation and Infrastructure; Education and Labor • Morgan Griffith (Virginia-09); Energy and Commerce • August Pfluger (Texas-11); Foreign Affairs, Homeland Security • Steven Palazzo (Mississippi-04); Appropriations • Dusty Johnson (South Dakota- AL); Agriculture, Transportation and Infrastructure • Jay Obernolte (California-08); Budget, Natural Resources, Space, Science and Technology • Larry Bucshon (Indiana-08); Energy and Commerce • Jim Baird (Indiana-04); Agriculture, Science Space and Technology • Jack Bergman (Michigan-01); Armed Services, Veteran’s • Maria Salazar (Florida-27); Foreign Affairs, Small Business • Tom Rice (South Carolina-07); Ways and Means • Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio-16); Financial Services, Science Space and Technology • Fred Keller (Pennsylvania-12); Education and Labor, Oversight and Reform • Randy Weber (Texas-14); Science, Space and Technology, Transportation and Infrastructure • French Hill (Arkansas-02); Financial Services .
