My Reply To The Letter From Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH-4) I Didn’t Get

Dear Representative Jordan,

A number of my liberal friends have sent me the December 6, 2022 letter you and some of your colleagues in the House sent to Ms. Mindy Lubber, the Chief Executive Officer and President of Ceres, and Mr. Simiso Nzima, Managing Investment Director, Global Equity, CalPERS.

Let me say up front I’m a little disappointed I wasn’t even copied on the letter since the topic you address, “ESG policies,” is a domain where I have a certain degree of expertise and recognition. But it’s a Sunday and Christmas 🎄 is one week from today so, being in a charitable spirit, I will put my hurt feelings aside and take the liberty of writing you anyway. The issues you raise are important ones and my input might be helpful.

You were writing Ms. Lubber and Mr. Nzima since both of their organizations are co-founders of Climate Action 100+, “an investor-led initiative to ensure the world’s largest corporate greenhouse gas emitters take necessary action on climate change.” This is for their own long-term prosperity, creating value for their shareholders, and contributing to job creation and vibrant communities in both red states and blue.
