An Iowa biofuels coalition reports unanimous support among all Republican presidential candidates for consumer access to year-round E15 and opposition to electric vehicles (EV) mandates.

“All the active candidates in Iowa agree that consumers deserve choices in how the vehicles they drive are powered,” said Biofuels Vision 2024 Executive Director Logan Shine. “Folks don’t want to be forced into an EV and they want more fuel options like E15 at the pump. Biofuels Vision will continue to engage candidates on additional issues important to biofuels and the over 50,000 Iowa jobs supported by biofuels production.”

Currently, all Republican candidates who are actively campaigning in Iowa have voiced support for a permanent, national year-round E15 fix allowing consumers choice at the pump. Additionally, all candidates have agreed they oppose laws and regulations that directly or indirectly mandate an EV-only future.

Biofuels Vision 2024 is a coalition of Iowa organizations and citizens who are committed to educating candidates in both parties about the importance of renewable fuels to Iowa and other Midwest states across the Midwest. The coalition is tracking candidates’ stances on eight issues vital to the future of biofuels.
