- "Fight to protect a womanâs right to choose. Roe vs. Wade gave women the explicit right to have an abortion without government intervention. This right should remain absolute.

To achieve these goals George will support the proposal made by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to include decarbonization, justice for those that work in the fossil fuel industry, and the creation of new long-term high paying jobs. This can be achieved financially through incentives for private companies to reduce their carbon footprint and recycling efforts. Incentives will also be attached to these companyâs willingness to train and hire individuals currently living in the regions they operate from." (croomforcongress.com)
