The co-sponsors to the resolution are Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL-26), Rep. Dave Reichert (R-WA-8), Rep. Bob Dold (R-IL-10), Rep. Richard Hanna (R-NY-22), Rep. Patrick Meehan (R-PA-7), Rep.

“We applaud their leadership. The national conversation about climate change solutions will be richer for their ideas and participation,” said EDFAction president Elizabeth Thompson.
