New Jersey Governor-elect Phil Murphy has spoke out against the Penneast pipeline and fracking in the Garden State. In Virginia, Governor-elect Ralph Northam has opposed offshore drilling, been a strong proponent of clean energy, and challenged white supremacy. With hurricanes, wildfires, and rising sea levels threatening cities and states, climate change is a major cross-cutting issue in elections. Progressive candidates should embrace platforms that advocate real climate action — opposing all new fossil fuel projects and committing to 100% clean energy for all.” \### **Contact:** Dani Heffernan, , +1 (305) 992-1544
