He has never recommended voting for a politician who doesn't believe in climate change. He once said that if you want a split congress you have to vote for the party not in control of congress but that's a very different thing than telling someone to vote for a politician who doesn't believe in climate change

Mayra Flores is pro-oil and pro-gas. She says the "oil and gas industry is critical to the success of our State and Nation". And that she "will always work to help the oil and gas industry and stand firm against radical policies that would undermine it":
