Join the fight against these
ANTI-ENVIRONMENT LAWMAKERS
to protect the EPA!

Sen. Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader
Contributions from Polluters: $2,963,668

When asked what his top priority will be as the leader of the Senate, McConnell replied he will "try to do
whatever I can to get the EPA reined in."

Rep. Mike Rogers (AL)
Contributions from polluters: $407,618

"Who says the federal government has to have an EPA? Every state has their own environmental protection
agency. Why does the federal government need to be doing that?"

Rep. Mike Pompeo (KS)
Contributions from polluters: $627,110

When asked at a conference sponsored by the Koch-backed group Americans for Prosperity what could be
done to defund the EPA, Pomopeo boasted, "We're trying. Indeed, I personally tried."

Rep. Ted Poe (TX)
Contributions from polluters: $329,600

"Right now, someone is sitting at a large oak table in the EPA's marble palace in Washington, D.C., sipping
a vanilla latte and dreaming up a new rule to impose. Without fail, the EPA continues to come up with
ideas that leave you scratching your head in wonderment because of the questionable science used to justify
these regulations."

Sen. James Inhofe (OK)
Contributions from polluters: $1,787,696

"I can only say that what this country does not need is another Gestapo bureaucracy like the EPA..."

Rep. Peter Olson (TX)
Contributions from polluters: $490,050

Asked by a reporter if the EPA could be eliminated, Olson replied, "Oh yeah, we're going to fight like heck
for it. It may not happen with a Democrat Senate and a Democrat in the White House, but we're not going
to stop fighting for it."
