Tea Party Favorite, Food Stamp Foe Rep. Steve Southerland Loses Re-Election in Florida.  (Mother Earth, 11/4/2014)  It was close; Democrat Gwen Graham won with 50.5% of the vote.

No Friend to the Environment dishonor roll.

Alabama Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives.   (Their anti-environmentalism can be summed up in one word:  coal.  Which is odd, since Alabama contributes a mere 1.9% of U.S. production, good enough for an overall ranking of 13.  The state's peak year of production:  1990)  
Alaska Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
  • At-large District.  Don Young (R).   Ridiculed environmentalists as a “self-centered bunch of waffle-stomping, Harvard-graduating, intellectual idiots.....not Americans, never have been Americans, never will be Americans.”

Arkansas Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
