She is leading efforts to push the federal government to acknowledge and address the public health impacts of climate change, including worsening air and water quality, respiratory illness, and extreme weather events.
Evidence
"Supports a swift transition to 100% renewable energy sources to eliminate our reliance on fossil fuels" ... "In Congress, she will continue to fight to limit fossil fuel air pollution and hold big polluters accountable, champion a rapid transition to 100% clean energy, and advocate for healthy rivers and well-funded water infrastructure in Oregon."
In Congress, Dexter says she is focused on improving "the air we breathe, the climate, housing, our healthcare system, and the safety of our communities" and that she is committed to improving Oregon's future. The page does not describe enactment of a renewable-energy transition or 100% renewable-energy legislation.
Dexter "introduced the Climate Health Emergency Act" and said the climate crisis "demands a full-scale, whole-of-government response." The bill would require HHS to declare the climate crisis a public health emergency.
Sponsor: Rep. Dexter, Maxine [D-OR-3] (Introduced 07/17/2025). Latest Action: 07/22/2025 Sponsor introductory remarks on measure. Status: Introduced.
Dexter said Republicans were "gutting our clean energy economy just as it's gaining momentum" and that her amendments were meant to "not undercut the clean energy economy in Oregon." The press release says Republicans rejected each amendment.
Assessments
The promised outcome was a swift transition to 100% renewable energy sources. The evidence shows Dexter advocated for clean energy and introduced climate-related legislation, including the Climate Health Emergency Act, but there is no evidence that a 100% renewable-energy transition was enacted or otherwise achieved. Because she made serious legislative and advocacy efforts but the promised outcome was not delivered, this is best classified as never with an effort badge.
