In June, Elected Officials to Protect America embarked on an electric vehicle (EV) tour in the US Northeast – New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Georgia – to raise awareness of and affirm the commitments of elected officials in upholding the implementation of new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) clean vehicle emission standards, as well as the Inflation Reduction Act’s tax incentives to purchase electric vehicles.
During the tour, local elected officials supported the state representatives in upholding the EPA standards.
PA State Representative for Montgomery Country Mary Jo Daley spoke in support of Senator Fedderman and Senator Casey to contiue to uphold EPA clean emission standards for vehicles.
“Senator Casey and Senator Fedderman, I hope you are going to be continuing to support the infrastructure for eclectic vehicles. We need this to keep our air and water clean and less reliance on fossil fuels.”
Elected Officials to Protect America is a network of current and former elected officials who care deeply about protecting the planet and people. EOPA is committed to solving the climate crisis, ensuring environmental justice, and protecting our lands, waters, and democracy.
