“We are thrilled that SEEC will be so strongly represented on the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis,” said the Co-Chairs. “The seven appointed SEEC members are committed environmental champions who will bring unparalleled passion and expertise to the panel. We thank Speaker Pelosi for making these appointments, and we look forward to working with the Select Committee to address the climate crisis head-on.” Last month, SEEC leadership sent a letter to Speaker Pelosi and Select Committee Chair Kathy Castor urging them to prioritize placement of SEEC members on the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.

Donald McEachin (D-VA), and Joe Neguse (D-CO). |
