Environmental groups are shelling out money in the final weeks before Election Day to help House Republicans, while another group announced that it had reached a financial milestone in the 2024 races.
EDF Action Votes, a super political action committee affiliated with the Environmental Defense Fund, has spent more than $140,000 in recent weeks on mailings and other efforts against the Republican opponent of Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.).
The group is also spending to help Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a moderate Republican from Pennsylvania, in a race against a Democratic challenger.
As the race enters its final day, spending by green groups is shattering records. The League of Conservation Voters, the leading environmental campaign finance organization, said the group and its affiliates have spent $164 million backing presidential nominee Kamala Harris and other Democrats in the 2024 election cycle — nearly $50 million more than in 2020.
