Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D. OR) in support of Katie McGinty’s (D. PA) U.S. Senate campaign:
Katie McGinty (D. PA)
We’ve got a true progressive Climate Champion in Katie McGinty, who is running to be Pennsylvania’s first woman Senator.
Winning in the Keystone State is absolutely critical to our goal of taking back the Senate, and Katie is just the person to do it. Fighting climate change is her lifelong passion -- serving as the Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality in the 1990s and as the Pennsylvania Secretary of Environmental Protection in the early 2000s.
In Pennsylvania, Katie helped prove that we don't have to pit jobs against the environment by making critical investments in clean energy in her state. I know that she will bring the same skill and determination to the Senate and will be a strong ally on so many fights, from climate change to confirming quality Supreme Court justices.
