Briefings

A super PAC called the Invest in Tomorrow Coalition, backed by clean energy investors, is spending over $15 million to target Republican House candidates in the 2026 midterms. The PAC's chair, Tom Matzzie, argues that fear is a political asset to punish opponents who opposed clean energy tax credits. The group has already defeated three Republican representatives and a Democratic governor in primaries. Evidence suggests the PAC uses ads that attack candidates' other weaknesses rather than focusing on energy policy.

Key points

• The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition spent at least $15 million in 2026 to target seven Republican House candidates in the midterms.
• The PAC has already defeated three Republican representatives and a Democratic governor in primaries.

Context

Clean energy is the cheapest, fastest-growing source of power in the country, yet politically it barely registers. Republicans gutted its tax credits last year without fearing any consequences. The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition is trying to change that by punishing the industry's enemies through fear-based campaigning.

Limitations

Evidence covers only the 2026 midterms and primary defeats; spending figures are minimums; specific ad content and general election targets are not detailed.
