· U.S. Wealth Watcher

151 members who cast a yes or no vote took energy & utilities PAC money in the 2024 cycle. The biggest recipients are shown; the full list is on the bill page.

This bill orders the Secretary of the Interior to reissue a 2020 rule that removes gray wolves from the endangered species list. It also says no court can review that decision.

Gray wolves would lose federal protections, and states would manage them. This could affect ranchers, hunters, and conservation groups.
