“Rep. Carlos Curbelo has made focusing on commonsense, clean energy solutions that grow the economy, strengthen America’s national security, and preserve the quality of our natural environment a hallmark of his time in the House.

“In South Florida, issues like sea level rise and water quality aren’t just about our environment – they’re essential to our way of life and the continued growth and viability of our economy. From Everglades National Park to the Florida Keys Marine Sanctuary, our state is home to many of America’s most pristine natural resources and ecological treasures. I’m proud of my work to break through the polarization and build bipartisan consensus on renewable energy development and new technologies. These efforts will directly address the threats climate change and sea level rise pose to our local and national environment. I am honored to have the endorsement of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions and look forward to continuing this important work,” said Rep. Carlos Curbelo.

- Fought to ensure that consumers have a variety of market-based, commonsense clean energy options as Chairman of the Agriculture, Energy and Trade Subcommittee of the Small Business Committee.
- Led on clean energy policy that bolsters the economy as a member of the Economic Development Committee and Congressional Coastal Communities Caucus.
