These 26 Republicans support preserving IRA energy credits

The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created dozens of clean energy tax credits that allowed businesses across the country to decarbonize their operations. Now, the Biden-era law is under threat, with many GOP lawmakers expressing desires to cut many of the same clean energy credits that created hundred of jobs in their states.

However, there are still ways for businesses to lobby for the preservation of certain IRA credits. At least 26 Republican senators and congressmen have publicly expressed a desire to maintain specific credits, arguing that their districts and states will lose jobs and revenue should the credits be cut.

Specifically, 21 House Republicans and four senators wrote separate letters to the Chair of the House Ways & Means Committee Jason Smith and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, respectively, while Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) stated in an interview that he was examining different IRA credits within his state. These 26 representatives are more likely to continue to strongly push for the permanent preservation of energy credits if businesses within their states contact them directly. Below are all 26 representatives, their contact information, and a link to the public statement they made.
