(Washington, D.C. – November 8, 2022) EDF Action congratulates U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (NH) for winning reelection.
“Voters sent a strong message by reelecting Maggie Hassan to a second term in the U.S. Senate,” said EDF Action President David Kieve. “Hassan’s record these past six years speaks for itself: working to lower energy costs for families, create good-paying clean energy jobs and ensure healthier communities. We were proud to support Maggie Hassan in her reelection bid and know she’ll continue to fight for New Hampshire families. We look forward to working with Senator Hassan to continue making climate progress over the next six years”
EDF Action Votes teamed up with LCV Victory Fund to run a $3 million TV ad in the closing weeks of the campaign as well as a digital ad, “Not a Priority,” on premium streaming services.
EDF Action had an on-the-ground organizer in New Hampshire working to mobilize climate activists for Senator Hassan’s reelection campaign. This program was based in five states across the country: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and New Hampshire. Over 500 EDF Action members volunteered for candidates in close races by phone banking, letter writing, canvassing and joining virtual and in-person events.
As part of its largest-ever program to engage EDF Action members in critical campaigns, EDF Action also supported Maggie Hassan by deploying staff to New Hampshire. These staffers educated EDF Action members about opportunities to volunteer and vote for climate champions while also working with the campaign on behalf of EDF Action PAC to contact and turn out voters.
EDF Action also worked with other environmental groups — Clean Energy for America, the League of Conservation Voters, NRDC Action Fund, National Wildlife Federation Action Fund, the Sierra Club and the Wilderness Society Action Fund — to put together the largest-ever national member mobilization effort in a non-Presidential election cycle.
