- "The corporate rate would drop from 35 to 20%, but many of the deductions and loopholes will allow corporations to pay much less â some even nothing. Republicans continue to use the oft-debunked idea of trickle down economics as a way to convince us that jobs will be created by the corporate cuts, and that the savings will be shared with workers. Thereâs no other way to say it â thatâs a bald-faced lie. Corporations are enjoying more profits than ever, but the benefits are not trickling down to workers." (www.christinebrownforcongress.com)

- "Washington State is well-positioned to lead the nation, and the world, in a necessary move away from fossil fuels towards clean, renewable energy. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) based in Richland, is a national leader in climate science, energy and environmental science, alternative energy, and power grid technology. Researchers at PNNL and other local research and development organizations, as well as innovative businesses, can serve as the leaders for the creation of clean energy products and the jobs they produce in our district. We need leadership dedicated to protecting the continuation of PNNL's research. Maintaining the crucial research conducted at PNNL is one of my top priorities." (www.christinebrownforcongress.com)

Recently, the Washington State Department of Ecology adopted one of the most progressive standards in the nation to cap and reduce carbon pollution, when it implemented the Clean Air Rule. Efforts to spearhead effective change on this critical climate issue hasn't been without its struggles. Those opposed to any action designed to combat climate change have framed the debate as a contest between jobs and the environment." (www.christinebrownforcongress.com)
