CCL applauds 21 Republicans for supporting clean energy tax credit support

March 12, 2025 – Citizens’ Climate Lobby is very encouraged to see 21 House Republicans sign onto a letter in support of America’s clean energy tax credits. 

Jennifer Tyler, CCL’s Vice President of Government Affairs, said, “More and more Republican House members are recognizing that clean energy tax credits are benefiting their districts — and that constituents and businesses don’t want to lose them. It’s clear that these policies are delivering real economic value in communities nationwide.”

The letter, led by House Climate Solutions Caucus co-chair Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY-02), was signed by 20 of his fellow House Republicans: Reps. Amodei, Bacon, Bresnahan, Carter, Ciscomani, Evans, Fong, Houchin, Hurd, James, Joyce, Kean, Kiggans, Kim, LaLota, Lawler, Mackenzie, Miller-Meeks, Newhouse and Valadao.

“We have 20-plus members saying, ‘Don’t just think you can repeal these things and have our support’” for the larger budget reconciliation package, Rep. Garbarino told Politico.

That’s a bigger group than the 18 Republicans who sent a similar letter last fall.

In last week’s Conservative Climate Leadership Conference and Lobby Day, 50 right-of-center climate advocates from CCL visited 47 Republican offices on Capitol Hill to reinforce that message. 

These grassroots volunteers “found that Republican offices are receptive to the case that these tax credits have spurred unprecedented private investment, driven innovation, and created well-paying jobs across the country,” Tyler added.
