OLCV Environmental Scorecard: What was the Highlight of the 2025 Session?

What was the Highlight of the 2025 Session?

Oregon’s 2025 long legislative session was one of the most challenging in recent memory – made even more difficult due to the onslaught of threats coming down from the federal government. Despite our hard work, there are not as many policy wins to celebrate as we’d like. But one thing worth celebrating is that YOU, our volunteers, showed up! In addition to OLCV’s Lobby Day (the first held in person since 2019!), our team also played a major role in the Building Resilience Lobby Day and the Move Oregon Forward Advocacy Day. Each of these events drew in 100 advocates from across the state. Across those three events, we held 141 meetings with state lawmakers, demonstrating the strength of our movement. You sent over 9,000 emails to lawmakers’ offices urging them to do right by our environment. Many of you testified for our priority bills and the state budget, attended town halls, and wrote LTEs to show strong support for climate action. We heard you, we appreciate you, and we’re with you all the way. THANK YOU!

About the Scorecard

For more than 40 years, OLCV has protected Oregon's natural legacy. An essential part of our work is holding our elected officials accountable. The OLCV Environmental Scorecard is not only one of our most important accountability tools, but also a tradition. The first scorecard was published in 1973.

By sharing how each member of the Legislature voted on the most critical conservation bills, we help Oregonians understand whether legislators listened to their constituents, or if they listened to special interest groups instead. It also serves as a summary of environmental bills and includes special recognition of the legislative champions.
