These contest in key states are 'all critical for climate-action, reproductive choice, and American democracy itself.'

. Like most Voter's Guides, we score incumbents on pivotal climate votes in Congress. We also assess a candidate's position: what do candidates say about the issue; leadership: what do they do; and putting a fee on carbon polluters. The average of those scores creates their Climate Calculation.

In Pennsylvania, John Fetterman's Climate Calculation is 92.5. He understands the importance of action on climate change as a top priority issue. On his official campaign website, Fetterman states,"I believe that climate change is an existential threat, and we need to transition to clean energy as quickly as possible."

John Fetterman's Climate Calculation of 92.5 compares to his opponent whose overall Climate Calculation is an abysmal 7.5 out of a possible 100. The opponent disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. He opposes Roe. Her opponent has a Climate Calculation of 28.75 because he does not take a clear position on whether climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels and he has no known, or an inconsistent position on a U.S. carbon fee. He opposes Roe.

For a Climate Calculation of 100, U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock, like many other of our priority candidates, would need to take a strong, public position and advocate in favor of a U.S. fee on carbon polluters. His position is unclear. Senator, your constituents and your country deserve to know where you stand on this issue. Since don't know, Senator Warnock got a 50 which means he has no known or inconsistent position on a U.S. carbon fee.
