Scott Named McEachin Circle Honoree for Climate Advocacy
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) was named an inaugural McEachin Circle Honoree by Climate Action Campaign and Young, Gifted & Green. The McEachin Legacy Circle, named after the late Congressman Donald McEachin, is an award recognizing congressional leaders who are climate and environmental justice champions.
“I was fortunate to serve alongside Donald McEachin,” said Congressman Scott. “He was a passionate and driven champion of environmental justice. Now more than ever, it is important that all of us join together to protect the progress we have made over the last several years. The Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invested heavily in clean energy and in making a clean environment more accessible to all people regardless of their race or economic status. And our climate progress is now under assault by the Trump Administration. As I accept this award, I pledge to keep up the fight for our climate future to honor my friend, Don McEachin.”
Other inaugural McEachin Circle Honorees include Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan (VA-04) and Congressman Raul Grijalva (AZ-07).
