National Environmental Groups Endorse Chris Rabb for PA-3

Rep. Rabb is the Climate Champion in this Race

WASHINGTON — National environmental groups Food & Water Action, Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, Oil Change Action, Climate Hawks Vote, and Friends of the Earth Action are endorsing State Representative Chris Rabb for Pennsylvania’s Third Congressional District ahead of the May 19th primary election. This is their first endorsement for this election cycle.  

As a State Representative, Rabb has been a climate leader, founding the Pennsylvania legislature’s Climate Caucus, and most recently has advocated for a halt to data center expansion. As a member of Congress, Rabb would hold polluters accountable through federal legislation like the Make Polluters Pay Act that would force fossil fuel companies to pay for their climate-related damages.  

Ariel Moger, Director of Public Affairs for Friends of the Earth Action, said:  

“Friends of the Earth Action is proud to endorse Chris Rabb. He is the kind of courageous champion Congress needs: a leader who fights for people and speaks truth to power. As a bold progressive, he has a track record rooted in environmental justice and a deep commitment to democracy. We strongly urge voters in Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional district to support Rabb and his community-centered campaign.” 

Food & Water Action Political Director said:  

“Representative Rabb is among our strongest allies in Harrisburg. His advocacy against fracking and for climate solutions has been sorely needed in the state legislature, but it is even more necessary in Congress. We’re excited to help him win this election.”  

Stephanie Kurose, Northeast Political Director at the Center Action Fund, said:  

“Pennsylvanians deserve a champion in Congress who will stand up to corporate polluters and fight for a livable future. Chris Rabb has spent his career challenging entrenched power and fighting for communities that too often bear the brunt of toxic pollution. He’s exactly the kind of fearless advocate we need in Washington, and we’re proud to endorse him.”  

Collin Rees, Campaigns Manager at Oil Change Action, said:  

“Representative Chris Rabb has been a leader on climate and environmental justice for years, and he will be a strong champion on these issues in Congress. He understands what it means to fight alongside frontline communities bearing the brunt of the fossil fuel industry’s pollution in Pennsylvania and he’s willing to stand up to the corporations hurting people and the planet. We are proud to endorse Rabb for Congress.” 

RL Miller, political director at Climate Hawks Vote, said:  

“Chris Rabb has a strong track record of speaking out for his community as an environmental justice champion. Now more than ever, we need his leadership in the transition to a clean energy economy.”
