Brooks was re-elected to a 2nd term with 65% of the vote.   She serves on no environmental committees.

Recommended reading for Rep. Brooks and her central Indiana constituents.

Climate Change.  Indiana Wildlife Federation.


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.” 
 Arizona Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
Arkansas Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
California Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
Colorado Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
No House Republicans hail from Connecticut and Delaware. 
Florida Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
Georgia's Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
 Idaho's Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
 Illinois' Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
 Indiana's Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
  • 2nd District.  Jackie Walorski (R).  That’s My Congress” notes Rep. Walorski has followed a conservative course when voting on environmental legislation -- and everything else, for that matter.   Earned a 0% rating from the League of Conservation Voters after her first year in the House.
  • 3rd District.  Martin Stutzman (R).  Signed Americans for Prosperity’s “No Climate Tax Pledge” a month before being sworn in as a member of Congress in 2010. 
  • 4th District.  Todd Rokita (R).  This climate change denier respects "God's green earth".  Anyone who thinks otherwise is arrogant.
  • 5th District.  Susan Brooks (R).  The Walorski summary fits Brooks to a T.
