In response, Sierra Club Legislative Director Melinda Pierce released the following statement:
“After wasting nearly four months as families across the country suffer, lose loved ones, and face dire economic hardships, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans continue to ignore their responsibilities. Enough is enough. Rather than rushing to confirm unqualified judges or going on prolonged vacations, the Senate needs to do their job and pass the HEROES Act today.”
