DARIN LAHOOD

The nonpartisan League of Conservation Voters last month issued its annual 2022 National Environmental Scorecard, and U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Peoria) was given a 5%.

This new scorecard considered 19 House votes and 23 Senate votes, including the clean energy plan (Inflation Reduction Act), votes to undermine environmental review and public input, and a proposal to halt Big Oil price-gouging.

LaHood was then representing residents of the 18th Congressional District, which was eliminated. First elected to Congress in 2015, LaHood now represents the redrawn 16th.

During the Congressional term scores, Cheri Bustos (D-Moline) of the adjacent 17th scored a 95%. She retired and the District 17 is now represented by Democrat Eric Sorensen.

U.S. Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin scored a 96% and Tammy Duckworth a 100%.
