Washington, DC– New data from Climate Power shows that the Inflation Reduction Act, which not a single Republican in Congress voted for, has already created 200 jobs in Wisconsin’s 8th district. Republican Representative Mike Gallagher voted against the bill even though constituents are benefitting directly from the historic investments in job creation and clean energy.
Now, House Republicans have a plan to repeal the law, even though it has broad public support from 68% of Americans, including 47% of Republicans. MAGA extremists in Congress have chosen this moment to threaten to force the United States to default if they don’t get the votes to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act and stop the American clean energy economic boom. According to Climate Power’s latest Clean Energy Boom report, clean energy projects in 41 states have announced and advanced 142,016 new jobs since August 16th, 2022. The 190+ new clean energy projects nationwide total $242.81 billion in investments, creating economic growth in communities across the country.
Wisconsin voters deserve to know: Will Rep. Gallagher vote to kill 200 clean energy jobs in their own district?
