Our Mission:

The Cleantech Party (CTP) is an all-volunteer organization whose mission is to fundraise for climate change champions running for election to state and federal offices. We support candidates who champion clean energy, modern technologies that grow our economy, environmental justice, energy equity, government leadership, and market-based solutions that address pollution and fossil fuel externalities. Our activities include events, grassroots engagement, advocacy, and engaging and expanding our clean energy community, often in coordination with partner organizations.

Impact:

Since 2020, the Cleantech Party has raised nearly $6 million to elect clean energy and climate champions—from state legislators and judges to the House, Senate, and Presidency—and to fight voter suppression. As a volunteer organization, 100% of the money we raise goes directly to candidates and causes.  

Our support matters in close races. Of the 2024 House races we backed, we were 6-1 with incumbents and 6-8 with challengers—enough to flip the House if not for other losses around the country (and redistricting in North Carolina).  We also met with and raised for all the competitive Senate races.  Baldwin, Rosen, Slotkin, and Gallego's elections were extremely close. Lastly, we supported important State Supreme Court wins in the critical states of MI, NC, and WI, with a loss in OH.   

Next:

We continue to support clean energy and climate action—the November '24 election reminded us that our work never ends. We're planning big for 2025-26:   

  • Hold House seats and flip more to regain a climate-action friendly House, 

  • Protect competitive U.S. Senate incumbents and work to flip one or more Senate seats, 

  • Support key state legislative races—starting with Virginia and Michigan 2025 elections, 

  • Support clean energy/climate candidates in a select number of the 26 Governor elections, and: 

  • Continue to support candidates and key State Supreme Court elections.   

These next two years have significant potential—stay tuned for more opportunities to participate with the Cleantech Party and our partner organizations—collectively, we can step up big in 2025 to protect our climate gains—and democracy itself.
