Hi all –

A huge thanks to everyone engaging on the #StopWheeler hashtag around Andrew Wheeler’s nomination to lead the EPA. Since yesterday, we’ve seen nearly 1,000 Twitter mentions, resulting in more than 7 million potential impressions on Twitter. To keep the momentum up, please find some updated social on floor speeches from Sens. Markey and Wyden below. Our full guidance can be found HERE; we’ll continue to push social on floor speeches that happened after 6 pm throughout the morning. We’ll also be posting from the Stop Wheeler Twitter account, which can be found HERE. We expect a Senate vote on Wheeler’s nomination after noon, so we encourage folks to join in an hour of action on Twitter using #StopWheeler from 11 am ET – 12 pm ET today.

Additionally, a number of Members of Congress tweet statements against Wheeler’s nomination in the last 24 hours. Those posts are listed below; those that use the #StopWheeler hashtag are highlighted. If we’ve missed any statements, please send my way and we’ll be sure to include in the next update email.

As always, please feel free to adjust any of this material to best fit the voice and tone of your organization. Let me know if you have any questions or requests! If you have a resource (blog post, fact sheet, social guidance) you’d like included in upcoming update emails, please send me a note!

Thank you,

Marcy
