The Missouri Sierra Club has endorsed two incumbent Congressmen for re-election in the August 2 Primary.

Representative Clay has earned a lifetime score of 88% on the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Scorecard, and has proven to be a consistent advocate for environmental protection and clean energy. On Earth Day (April 22), Congressman Clay joined the Sierra Club on the roof of the new Ikea store to inspect the largest rooftop solar array in the state.
Congressman Emanuel Cleaver represents the Fifth Congressional District in the Kansas City area. Representative Cleaver has earned a lifetime score of 86% on the LCV Scorecard, and has actively supported the transition to increased deployment of clean energy such as solar, wind, and energy efficiency.
