The formation of the Congressional Extreme Heat Caucus, led by Arizona Rep. Greg Stanton and New York Rep. Mike Lawler, aims to address the growing threat of extreme heat across the United States. With over 1,300 deaths attributed to extreme heat annually, the caucus seeks bipartisan solutions to protect communities from these lethal temperatures. Stanton emphasizes the importance of collaboration among lawmakers, while Lawler highlights the increasing risks associated with heat, even in northern climates like New York. The caucus will welcome House members dedicated to finding common ground on this pressing issue.
Extreme heat kills more Americans each year than any other weather event—over 1,300 lives lost, including 570 in New York alone. That's why I'm co-chairing the Heat Caucus to drive real solutions.
It's important to have that conversation on what we can come together and agree on because that's how we get legislation passed in this town, even if we don't agree on how far to go.
