Support for Clean Energy Helped Push Blunt Rochester to Victory in Delaware

(Washington, DC – November 5, 2024) EDF Action congratulates Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester on winning election to the U.S. Senate from Delaware.

“Voters sent a strong message by elevating a climate champion like Lisa Blunt Rochester to the Senate,” said David Kieve, president of EDF Action. “Senator-elect Blunt Rochester has been a vocal advocate for a clean energy economy to tackle climate change and protect Delaware’s most vulnerable residents from rising sea levels exacerbated by a warming atmosphere. Rep. Blunt Rochester’s legislation to invest in local air monitoring was adopted into several of the major climate laws passed during the Biden-Harris Administration and is protecting human health and the environment. Her predecessor, Sen. Tom Carper, has been a true champion for the environment and Blunt Rochester has demonstrated that she is a champion for environmental justice who will continue Sen. Carper’s legacy of prioritizing climate action from the First State.”
