WASHINGTON – On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) joined Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Ranking Member Tim Scott (R-S.C.), and 33 of his Senate colleagues in a bipartisan Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to overturn the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) radical climate disclosure rule which would bury public companies in paperwork, raise costs for consumers, and stifle economic opportunity.

Vance (R-Ohio), Katie Britt (R-Ala.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), John Cornyn (R-Texas), John Thune (R-S.D.), John Barrasso, M.D. (R-Wyo.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho.), Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W. Va.), Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-La.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), and Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.).
