•      "[The League of Conservation Voters] urges you to vote NO on H.R. 4468, the so-called Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act. If passed, this bill would block the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from setting cleaner vehicle standards. Strong car and truck emissions standards are critically important to clean our air, deliver consumers savings on the cost of owning a vehicle, and tackle the climate crisis… The transportation sector is the largest source of climate pollution and is a major threat to public health. Exposure to air pollution from light-duty vehicles increases the risk of asthma attacks, strokes, heart attacks, cancer, and premature death. Additionally, low-wealth communities and communities of color are disproportionately exposed to this dangerous pollution. Our country’s harmful history of housing segregation and redlining has forced such communities to areas closest to major highways, freight hubs, and high-traffic areas. Strong vehicle standards can help rein in pollution from dirty vehicles to help protect communities and advance environmental justice." Source: The League of Conservation Voters

•      "Legislation that prevents EPA from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing the Light- Medium-Duty Vehicle 2027+ proposed rule means that harmful pollutants would continue to blight Americans’ quality of life by subjecting them to more hospital visits, more respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses, and more health implications from nonfatal heart attacks, aggravated asthma, and decreased lung function. It means that drivers would be denied the chance to save on fuel costs and that American society would not see the $850 billion to $1.6 trillion in net benefits these standards would achieve."
