McCain Votes

McCain has been in Congress since 1983 and has a long and detailed voting record.

  • Environment: In 2007, McCain skipped every crucial vote on the environment and ranked dead last among all 535 Members of Congress according to the League of Conservation Voters:
    “Out of 535 Members of Congress, John McCain is the only one who chose to miss every single key environmental vote scored by the League of Conservation Voters last year. When it came time to stand up and vote for the environment, John McCain was nowhere to be found,” said Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club. “Every other Member who received a zero from LCV last year at least had the temerity to show up and vote against the environment and clean energy time after time. And unlike John McCain, I doubt any of them would claim to be environmental leaders or champions on global warming.”
  • Big Oil Giveaways: In December 2007, a bill to redirect oil company tax breaks to renewable energy failed by one vote - and John McCain didn't vote.
