2024 Recent Vote
Representative Josh Brecheen (R-OK) sponsored an amendment to H.R. 8771, the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2025, which would cut all U.S. contributions to the Global Environment Facility (GEF), one of the longest lived multilateral environmental funds with an established record of confronting global challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss, wildlife trafficking, land degradation, toxic chemicals and plastic pollution. Walking away from the GEF would send a powerful signal to allies and competitors alike that the U.S. is not a reliable partner and threaten our ability to help developing countries address biodiversity loss and other global environmental challenges. On June 27, the House rejected the Breechen amendment by a vote of 180-227 (House roll call vote 298). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
