"Midterms 2022: A Green Wave on the Horizon?"

"While control of Congress remains unsettled, other races around the country reveal a growing — if precarious — tilt toward climate as a priority."

"As the dust settles on the 2022 midterm elections, one thing becomes clear: The projected “red wave” of Republican victories failed to materialize.

But while control of the House and Senate — and therefore the fate of President Biden’s agenda — remains unsettled, a closer look at less publicized political races around the country reveals what may be a “green wave” of growing climate action.

Pundits will point out that inflation, abortion and threats to democracy drove much of this year’s voting, but at the same time many people — especially younger voters — turned out with climate on their minds."
