The Race between Patricia Madrid and Healther Wilson Is Heating Up

The race between Patricia Madrid and Heather Wilson is heating up with the TV airwaves buzzing. Meanwhile, Patricia Madrid has been quietly doing a great job on the environmental front. With the federal agencies controlled by conservatives who often were industry executives and Congress slacking on oversight-- many of our landmark environmental protections are at risk.

Attorney General Madrid has joined with other states to protect us against further global warming with a lawsuit charging that EPA's failure to regulate power plant emissions of carbon dioxide violates the Clean Air Act. She has also challenged the EPA's rules weakening mercury emission standards for most coal plants and challenged the highway administration's failure to improve fuel economy standards for SUVs and light trucks. I'm glad somebody is not just complaining.

This kind of thing doesn't hit the airwaves, but it might just be indicative of what a great Congressperson she'd make.

I wondered how Heather Wilson could be on environmental issues - it turns out pretty bad or downright awful. How did she do on global warming or renewable energy votes in Congress?

I wouldn't count on Heather Wilson to protect my air and water for the next two years. Paste this into your browser for a small but powerful Table showing her record.
