Albert Gore III takes the driver's seat as EV lobbyist

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 24, 2023

Electric vehicles have made a first-time lobbyist out of Albert Gore III, son of former Vice President Al Gore (D).

The younger Gore disclosed last week that he's now a part of the Zero Emission Transportation Association's lobbying team. ZETA advocates for a complete transition to electric-vehicle sales by 2030. Gore, who took over as the coalition's executive director in January, told Politico that the organization's 2023 policy goals would focus on implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act.

Gore previously spent seven years at Tesla, where he worked on public policy and business development. His father famously won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his environmentalist advocacy work.
