Last week, a few key senators helped avert a major disaster — and successfully passed a spending deal that stripped out Trump’s top priorities.
They rejected Trump’s dangerous calls to gut the EPA’s budget, clean energy funding, and regional clean water programs. They also blocked funding for Trump’s border wall, which would have catastrophic impacts on both communities and wildlife.
Just yesterday, we scored a major victory for our health, clean air, and our climate when the Senate rejected a bid to permanently block commonsense protections against methane pollution.
This ONLY happened because swing-state senators stepped up big. And now they have HUGE targets on their backs.
Senators like Tammy Baldwin, Sherrod Brown, and Bob Casey just helped outsmart Trump — but they’re facing tight races. We can’t afford to lose any of them in 2018.

Baldwin, Brown, and Casey are guaranteed to be among Big Polluters’ next targets. Will you help them hold the Senate?
In Wisconsin, multiple candidates are vying to win the nomination to take on Senator Tammy Baldwin. Trump carried Wisconsin in 2016 and many Republicans see Baldwin as a prime target for takeout.
Meanwhile in Ohio, State Treasurer Josh Mandel is challenging Senator Sherrod Brown in a reprise of their 2012 race. While Brown won in 2012, Trump carried the presidential race in Ohio in 2016, and on the environment Mandel and Trump are cut from the same cloth. Unbelievably, Mandel has referred to climate change research as “riddled with fraud.”
And in Pennsylvania, which in 2016 went for Trump by a narrow margin and reelected polluter ally Pat Toomey to the Senate, Big Polluters see another strong opportunity to damage the pro-environment firewall. With opponents already jumping into the Republican primary, Senator Casey is in for a long fight — and he can’t do it without early support.

The next two years will be difficult, but these champs are standing up to Big Polluters and are fighting to defend the EPA, our air, our drinking water, and our climate. Let them know you stand with them: Please, chip in today.
