The 1 Congressional District Where Climate Policy Might Have An Impact This Year
Pathetic, isn't it? One.
EDIT
In the race for the highly competitive and newly drawn district — a redraw forced by the state Supreme Court following Republican gerrymandering — climate is playing a major role. The incumbent is freshman Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R), an early member of the House Climate Solutions Caucus (Ed. - 
)and a genuine moderate who had far and away the best score for House Republicans on the latest League of Conservation Voters congressional scorecard — 71 percent.
Fitzpatrick frequently talks about climate change on the campaign trail. But his devotion to the issue pales in comparison with the three Democrats seeking to defeat him. The Democratic field features the co-founder of the local 350.org chapter; a naval veteran who did disaster and recovery work in the Pacific island nation of Kiribati, meeting with leaders and residents whose land is being washed away; and, perhaps most intriguingly, the grandson of former Vice President Henry Wallace, whose family foundation has spent a fortune working to combat climate change. Now, some of that fortune is being spent on the congressional race.
The $900,000 that Scott Wallace has poured into the campaign has undoubtedly transformed the May 15 Democratic primary and will be a factor in the general election if he prevails in two weeks. Wallace, 66, spent 15 years running the Wallace Global Fund in Washington, D.C. He returned to his boyhood home in Bucks County to seek the congressional seat.
EDIT
Whatever grief Fitzpatrick is getting from conservatives for his views and record on climate change, he is getting far greater grief from the Democrats, who assert that his actions are inadequate and don't match his rhetoric. They note that while he was an early co-sponsor of a House GOP measure urging congressional leaders to address climate change and co-sponsored a bipartisan bill to prevent drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, his vote for the Republican tax cut bill is now paving the way for that drilling. As for Fitzpatrick's 71 percent LCV score, which puts him atop the list of House Republicans, Wallace said in an interview, "Being the least terrible in what you would say is the dirtiest Congress in history is not exactly a badge of honor. I would be 100 percent LCV." Wallace said that looking at the 29 percent of votes where Fitzpatrick differed with the LCV, especially on regulations, "would make your skin crawl."
