Toxic voting records

Our representatives in Washington make decisions that have a big impact on our health and wellbeing. And, the truth is, Friend, that many of these votes aren’t covered by the media. In the past three years, Congress has reversed or delayed chemical bans, gutted chemical safety rules, rejected sound science, weakened worker and consumer protections, and denied justice to asbestos victims. But many representatives are hoping to hide their toxic voting records. Here at EWG Action Fund, we think you deserve to know the truth about these votes. EWG Action Fund went through and examined the voting record of every member of the U.S. House of Representatives and created a toxic chemical policy scorecard so you can know where your member stands. [Click here to view EWG Action Fund’s Toxic Chemical Policy Scorecard.]( This is the first time there has been a scorecard focused solely on chemicals and your health. Here is how to read the scorecard: - The scorecard is organized alphabetically by state and then numerically by congressional district. - Next to the representative’s name, we have listed 17 bills and indicated when the representative voted to strengthen (green checkmark) or weaken (red x-mark) policy related to chemicals in the environment. - We calculated the percentage of their votes that were pro-environment and gave each member a score. The higher the score, the more they voted to protect our environment and health. You can learn more about the different bills [here.]( Thanks, - EWG Action Fund [P.S.
