New in ME: Senate EPW Chair Capito told me in permitting reform talks she’s interested in exploring ways to limit executive branch meddling after agencies issues a final decision - including possible legislative language - to combat R & D admins acting against permitted projects

Oh, and we almost forgot! We also ran into a celebrity at the Rayburn House Office Building. We told him we had over 850 volunteers doing over 400 meetings to help solve the #ClimateCrisis and he said: "Thank you, Thank you very much!" Who knew Elvis WAS in the building.
The Kentucky CCL group visited six offices yesterday to talk about permitting reform and clean energy. Check out this 🧵 with all their beautiful faces.
We dropped some information about S. 1462 the Fix Our Forests Act at @SenMcConnell's office. We also thanked him and his office for always giving us the time to discuss #ClimateChange and push for #CleanEnergy for the future. The staff at the office was outstanding.
On the other side of the Capitol, we visited the office of Senator @RandPaul. We dropped some materials about supporting S. 1462 the Fix Our Forests Act and #CleanEnergy. His staff was great, hope we'll see you again in about six months!
We visited the office of @RepMcGarvey. We met with Senior Legislative Assistant Nicole Saitta and Legislative Aide Louise Imber. We discussed clean energy, permitting reform and clean investment incentives in Kentucky. Thank you for your time yesterday.
One of our volunteers was born in Puerto Rico, so we visited the P.R. Commissioner. Thank you for the time, and for recording a video saying hi to my aunt, one of your biggest fans. She was on cloud nine! Congratulations to you and your wife on the new addition to the family.🍼🐣
Second meeting of the day was with Zack Settle and @RepJamesComer. Despite a super busy day, Rep. Comer took some time to meet with us. Thank you for always being available to talk to us about #CleanEnergy and permitting reform. @citizensclimate
First meeting of the day was with Will Scott at @RepThomasMassie's office. We admire his dedication to self reliance and being so vocal about batteries and energy storage, a key component to our #cleanenergy future.
We had a very productive day at the Capitol today. 950+ volunteers, 400+ meetings, 100% commitment to be vocal about climate change and work together to solve it. @citizensclimate
