The National League of Conservation Voters has released its annual congressional scorecard and the results for New Jersey are middling.
The environmental advocacy group rates senators and representatives based on their votes in their respective chambers on a slew of bills from 2015, ranging from clean energy to land conservation to pollution.
New Jersey's representatives scored an average of 52 percent, with Democrats getting high marks and Republicans scoring on the low end.
"Sadly, what we're seeing is the New Jersey congressional delegation is becoming increasingly more polarized along partisan lines," Ed Potosnak, head of the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters, said during a conference call with reporters on Wednesday. "Historically, New Jersey has had bipartisan support on leadership on the environment."
