Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard unseated two long-time incumbents to win their races for Georgia PSC in a race that has been making waves. By focusing on affordability and consumer protections, these leaders were able to be the first pro-climate candidates to win seats on the PSC in almost 20 years
Climate Cabinet endorsed candidates Peter Hubbard and Alicia Johnson in front of the cutout of the state of Georgia. A graphic with the text that reads the following: "Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard unseated two long-time incumbents on the Public Service Commission, marking the first statewide wins in nearly 20 years for candidates running on a platform centered on energy affordability and consumer protection. Although the commission will still hold an anti-climate majority at least until next cycle, Johnson and Hubbard’s victories will shift the dynamic on the panel by elevating affordability, clean energy, and stronger safeguards for Georgia consumers."

Today, @govpritzker.illinois.gov signed into law the Northeastern Illinois Transit Authority Act. This establishes a new transit authority for the Chicago region (NITA), increases state funding for transit by $1.5 billion, and puts IL on the path for a zero carbon transportation system.

Candidate spotlight: James Solomon won his race for Jersey City mayor. Rather than pushing for harmful projects that would have increased pollution, James ran on a proudly pro-climate platform. He advocated for smarter development and better public transit to build a more connected city for everyone
Climate Cabinet endorsed candidate James Solomon in front of the cutout of the state of New Jersey. A graphic with the text that reads the following: James Solomon ran and won on stopping harmful infrastructure projects that would have worsened pollution, while championing sustainable development and better public transit to build a healthier, more connected city. His mayoral campaign also centered housing affordability and fixing basic public services, reflecting a clear vision for a Jersey City that works for everyone.

A once-in-a-generation investment that benefits everyone in our state.

Today, I’m proud to sign the Northern Illinois Transit Authority Act into law.

Our new regional authority will modernize Illinois’ transit systems — and we’re doing it with no new statewide taxes.
Governor JB Pritzker signed the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA) Act, SB2111, into law, marking a landmark action in modernizing Illinois’ transit system. The law creates a new regional authority to oversee CTA, Metra, and Pace, while delivering significant investments in public transit, capital projects, and tollways across the state—all without raising statewide taxes.

Say, that *is* a fun fact!

Here's the receipts from @climatecabinet.org's incredible data team.
A graphic showing Climate Cabinet's analysis of the partisan lean of every GA house seat, indicating that the seat that flipped last night leans more R than a bunch of others, and that if those less-R seats flipped, the GA house would be majority-dem.

Every day, I am motivated to go to work at @climatecabinet.org because in state and local politics, true climate solutions are achievable. And we're getting it done.

Thanks @whitneybauck.bsky.social @theguardian.com for this great spotlight on the critical importance of local climate leadership.

Want to feel hopeful about climate action? Look to local politics.

75% of the commitments that the US made at the Paris climate agreement can be reached entirely without federal support.

Great read from @whitneybauck.bsky.social about the advocacy strategies of @climatecabinet.org. Climate progress in the US is possible when bypassing federal denialism local action is a template for other rights and justice movements in a regressive time. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Just a handful of races determine chamber control,” @spears.bsky.social said, “And when chambers in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Virginia flipped, those chambers actually then passed 100% clean energy policies.”

Could not be more proud to be a part of this team at @climatecabinet.org.

1. Cars are the biggest source of climate pollution in the country.

2. Transportation is the biggest household expense after rent/mortgage.

2. State and local gov't could cut these numbers by about 25% in five years without any federal policy.

Somebody solve this for me, what should we do? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
