official action
Tom Tiffany: Matches stated direction
In a 2025 letter, he asked Wisconsin's utility regulators to keep all of the state's power plants running and not close coal plants early. He voted for H.R. 3632, which would let federal regulators, on a complaint from a state utility commission or grid operator, order a power plant to keep running if service is likely to fall short. It would also make owners give five years' notice before closing one. It passed the House 222-202 on December 16, 2025, and sits in a Senate committee. Limit: His letter asked state regulators to keep plants open; this bill would let federal regulators order it. It is not law.
official action
David Crowley: Matches stated direction
His campaign says he has already cut Milwaukee County's emissions nearly in half. County operations cut emissions 46 percent from 2005 to 2023, from 209,154 metric tons to 113,789. By 2019, the year before he took office, they were already down about 35 percent, to 136,347. About three-quarters of the drop came before he was county executive. In May 2026 the county put the cut at 48 percent through 2024. Limit: County operations cut emissions 46% from 2005 to 2023, but about three-quarters of that came before he took office in 2020.
