The Senate considered President Trump’s nomination of Mike Pompeo to serve as secretary of state. The secretary of state is tasked with carrying out the president’s foreign policy agenda and plays a key role in shaping international climate policy.  Mr. Pompeo has deep ties to the Koch Brothers and has consistently favored polluting fossil fuel interests. During his time in Congress, Mr. Pompeo voted against protecting public health, conserving imperiled species, and advancing renewable energy earning an abysmal 4% lifetime score on LCV’s Scorecard. Mr. Pompeo’s anti-environmental record, climate science denial, preference for war over diplomacy, and hostility to human rights should be disqualifying. On April 26, the Senate confirmed Mike Pompeo to be secretary of state by a vote of 57-42 (Senate roll call vote 84). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
