ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND GREEN SPACE

I grew up in a time when rivers caught fire, housing developments were built on waste dumps, and smog shut down cities. There has been progress, but we need to do more to reduce the risk we face from climate change. In our district, the rapid advance of suburban sprawl makes the preservation of our remaining green space ever more important. 

If elected, I will: 

• Defend the Environmental Protection Agency from politicization and attack by special interests; 

• Support incentives for the further development of clean energy sources and an orderly transition away from fossil fuels; and 

• Seek funding for the protection of green spaces in our communities.
