ACC Action Announces 2026 Policy Champions

WASHINGTON, DC – American Conservation Coalition Action (ACC Action) today announced its 2026 Policy Champions list, recognizing elected officials who prioritize and work to enact conservative-led energy and conservation policy. 

ACC Action President Chris Barnard said: “ACC Action is proud to acknowledge our 2026 champions for advancing commonsense energy and conservation policies. Their leadership helps put the dual goals of energy innovation and responsible stewardship of our natural heritage into practice.”

The list includes U.S. senators, U.S. representatives, and governors. The 2026 champions were chosen for their leadership on a range of key issues, including permitting reform, nuclear energy, reindustrialization, public lands and water, regenerative agriculture, and forest management. 

Significant pieces of legislation supported by these lawmakers include the America the Beautiful Act, the Fix Our Forests Act, SPEED Act, and PATRIOT Parks Act. All of these bills should be prioritized this year to protect our nation’s natural beauty while unlocking our energy potential.

ACC Action looks forward to working  with our 2026 Policy Champions to build support for a conservative environmental agenda. For the complete list of ACC Action’s 2026 Policy Champions, please click here.
