Following the 2020 General Election, both of West Virginia’s Senators have been elevated to important leadership positions within Senate committees that set environmental and energy policy.

Senator Manchin is now the Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, where his leadership will be essential in charting a path forward on climate change solutions.

Senator Capito is the new Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. As the top republican, she will have great influence on the outcomes of the laws and policies considered by the committee.

We encourage you to reach out to West Virginia’s Senators to congratulate them on their new leadership roles. Let them know that you support action on policies that ensure clean air and water, and keep West Virginia wild and wonderful!
