Vision
Shaping Texas politics to lead globally on environmental and climate change solutions at every level of government, and to foster the next generation of environmental leaders.
Mission
EDF Action Texas PAC builds political power by supporting candidates and elected officials who fight for innovative, lasting climate and environmental solutions that make Texans safer and healthier. We create a durable, inclusive majority of pro-environment elected officials focused on the state’s biggest climate, regulatory, and environmental challenges.
Texas, Now and Forever
Texas is the past, present, and — with the right policies — future of energy policy. Solutions to our planet’s biggest environmental problems run straight through Texas. Building on 30 years of unique partnerships, and working from a foundation of strong science, economics, and innovation, EDF Action Texas is ready to expand our impact.
Why a PAC?
Texas needs political coordination, strategy, and investment on environmental policy, and environmental voters need a stronger voice in Texas’ electoral process. When our team sits on the sidelines, the opposition controls the field.
A robust, environmentally focused political operation will help motivate local and state policymakers to support effective, pragmatic, and lasting environmental solutions. Texas’ laws allow a group of committed donors to play a determinative role in elections, spotlighting climate and environmental issues for voters while enhancing allies’ capabilities.
EDF Action Texas PAC will:
- Leverage collective funds to ensure environmental issues have greater reach and political support from candidates and elected officials.
- Provide political accountability for elected officials’ actions on key issues and policy decisions.
- Support and promote environmental champions at all levels of government.
- Create avenues for direct engagement between environmental voters and political leaders to address pressing environmental issues.
