DENVER — Today, Conservation Colorado released the Colorado delegation’s scores for the League of Conservation Voters’ (LCV) 2025 National Environmental Scorecard, highlighting how Colorado’s leaders scored on a record number of votes across both chambers. The 2025 Scorecard exemplifies the stark contrast between Democrats and Republicans in Congress, with four members of Congress from Colorado who scored under 10% – Rep. Gabe Evans at 6%, Rep. Jeff Hurd at 3%, Rep. Lauren Boebert at 0% and Rep. Jeff Crank at 0%. 

Republicans repeatedly chose loyalty to the Trump administration and Big Polluters over making life more affordable, safer and healthier for their own constituents. The result has been threats to voting rights, higher energy costs for working families, lost jobs and economic opportunities, the selling of tens of millions of acres of public lands and waters to Big Polluters, fewer clean air and water safeguards, a diminished democracy and increased pollution. In a survey of 800 likely Colorado 2026 General Election voters (GEVs) conducted in 2025, Coloradans made it clear that with the Trump administration being run by billionaires and oil executives, we cannot depend on the federal government to look out for the interests of Colorado’s air, water and land. 

“We want to thank Sens. Bennet and Hickenlooper and Reps. DeGette, Pettersen, Neguse and Crow, who are working tirelessly against efforts to raise costs, kill clean energy jobs and undermine voting rights. Unfortunately, Reps. Evans, Hurd, Boebert and Crank continue to use their majority to cater to Big Polluters, corporate lobbyists and President Trump’s billionaire buddies,” said Kelly Nordini, Conservation Colorado’s CEO. 

“We’ve never seen a Congressional majority so willfully abandon its responsibilities to protect their own constituents and the Constitution and instead relentlessly attack the health and safety of our communities, our environment, and our right to a free and fair democracy,” said Sara Chieffo, LCV’s senior VP for government affairs. “Those members of Congress who voted for the Big Ugly Bill, killed clean energy incentives at a time when energy demand is at all-time highs and energy prices are rising higher than ever. It’s no surprise that while this Congress has been doing the bidding of President Trump and Big Polluters, utility costs rose 13% nationwide last year. We commend the members of Congress who forced votes to protect U.S.-made clean energy, our treasured public lands, critical federal agency funding, and our rights — pushing back on extreme Republican efforts to make it harder for people to vote and hand even more power to Trump.”

The full delegation’s scores for 2025 are:

• Sen. Bennet – 94%
• Sen. Hickenlooper – 91%
• Rep. DeGette – 100%
• Rep. Neguse – 100%
• Rep. Pettersen – 100%
• Rep. Crow – 100%
• Rep. Evans – 6%
• Rep. Hurd – 3%
• Rep. Boebert – 0%
• Rep. Crank – 0%

The 2025 Scorecard scored:

• 34 Senate votes, including:
  • 11 amendments showing where members stood on affordable clean energy, manufacturing jobs, public lands and federal workers on the Big Ugly Bill and its final passage (which LCV double scored) 
  • 7 nominees picked solely for their loyalty to Trump and fossil fuels
  • 13 Congressional Review Act (CRA) attacks on clean air and water, wildlife and public lands

• 32 House votes, including:
  • 8 bills driving up energy costs by blocking clean energy or giving handouts to dirty energy and the final passage of the Big Ugly Bill (which LCV double scored)
  • 4 bills undermining public input on decisions affecting our environment and communities
  • The SAVE Act, which aims to make voter registration more difficult
  • The same 13 Congressional Review Act (CRA) attacks on clean air and water, wildlife and public lands scored on the Senate side

LCV included a record number of 66 votes in the annual Scorecard that undermine programs and laws that advance a safe climate, environment and democracy.
