Several organizations focused on combating climate change joined forces on Monday for a $55 million advertising campaign in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, embracing what they describe as the economic upside of the Democratic Party’s environmental efforts.
The campaign will include ads in at least six swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. It is being run by the L.C.V. Victory Fund, a political arm of the League of Conservation Voters; E.D.F. Action Votes, an affiliate of the Environmental Defense Fund; Climate Power Action, a communications organization; and Future Forward, one of the biggest super PACs in Democratic politics.
“The goal of her presidency: strengthen America’s middle class,” one ad says. “We get there by investing in growing fields like advanced manufacturing and clean energy — good-paying jobs that don’t need a four-year degree. Cap the price of drugs and strengthen Social Security.”
While polls show that many voters are worried about climate change, they generally rank the economy higher on their list of concerns. Mr. Maysmith said he believed a message connecting the two would resonate.
“Clean energy is cheaper energy,” he said. “If she’s looking at how can things be more affordable for voters, this is one way to do that.”

Why do these climate groups support Biden's 50% tariff on Chinese electric cars?

REMINDER: Kamala supports a “reduction” of the population to benefit the climate, a ban on red meat consumption, & a ban on fracking. She EVEN wants to ban plastic straws.
There is a reason these orgs are spending $55 million on her behalf.
