GA - Warnock Talking Climate, Environmental Justice; Loeffler Busy Crawling Up Trump's Ass

EDIT

Warnock has made responding to the climate crisis and environmental injustice part of his platform, and he has been endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund. "Rev. Warnock is committed to moving us toward racially and economically just solutions to climate change," said Craig Auster, senior director of political affairs for the League of Conservation Voters. "He is a faith leader who has been outspoken about these issues and actively worked on them."

Loeffler spent most of her time the last few months going hard right to fend off fellow Republican Rep. Doug Collins in the special election, calling herself "more conservative than Attila the Hun" in a series of campaign ads, including one in which an actor playing Attilla sent an illegal immigrant to the dungeon.

"She has not been super clear where she stands on climate but she has for the most part been a conservative vote in the Senate," Auster said. "Kelly Loeffler has really strongly embraced President Trump's agenda and Mitch McConnell's agenda."

In fact, Loeffler has voted with President Trump 100 percent of the time, according to the FiveThirtyEight website. Her campaign did not respond to a request for an interview or information about her climate plans.
