Waxman Wins Committee Fight - Good News for Energy Policy

Looks like Waxman came out on top in his fight against John Dingell for chairmanship of the Energy and Commerce Committee. That's good news for anyone looking for strong, progressive policy on energy and climate change.

From what I'm hearing, some youth groups did make a few phone calls on Waxman's behalf (I don't have permission to say which ones). I'm not saying we were decisive, or even all that influential. That's a tough thing to know at this point without sources in Congressional offices. But we did have some skin in the game, which I think is a good thing long term.
