In response to Pennsylvania Democrats maintaining majority control in the state House of Representatives, Evergreen Action Deputy State Policy Advisor Julia Kortrey released the following statement:

“Pennsylvanians want and deserve a clean energy future, and this week, they voted to protect the Democratic majority that can make that future a reality. 

“With this victory, Pennsylvania has the opportunity to protect its legacy as a national leader in energy and industry. Voters ensured that Governor Shapiro and climate advocates have the legislative partners necessary to advance vital policies that will not only support the growing clean energy workforce, but also address the unreliable energy grid and lower household energy costs across the Commonwealth. 

“The national clean energy economy is growing, and Pennsylvania’s neighboring states are already making moves to attract clean energy projects that will secure federal funding, create quality jobs, boost local economies, and diversify the grid. Now, thanks to voters, Pennsylvania is positioned to do the same. We look forward to continuing to partner with leaders and advocates to help foster a clean energy economy that works for all Pennsylvanians, for generations to come.”
