Expand environmental protections and hold polluters accountable through legislation and federal funding.

Evidence
McIver’s environment page says she 'firmly support[s] efforts to expand environmental protections, hold polluters accountable and create a more sustainable economy, both with legislation and through federal funding,' and says she is committed to securing funding for flood mitigation and environmental justice efforts.
McIver announced the AI Data Center Site Selection Transparency Act of 2026, which would require disclosure of electricity use, water consumption, cooling demands, and environmental impacts, fund independent third-party analysis, and treat violations as unfair or deceptive practices under the FTC Act.
Assessments
McIver has taken a concrete same-term legislative step by introducing the AI Data Center Site Selection Transparency Act of 2026, which targets environmental transparency and accountability. However, the evidence does not show enacted legislation, secured federal funding, expanded protections, or completed polluter accountability outcomes. Under the rule for serious attempts that fail to deliver the promised outcome, this is not delivered but merits an effort badge.
