By transitioning to renewable energy, we can create thousands of good paying jobs while saving our planet and protecting frontline communities. Hill is committed to climate justice and won’t compromise his values — and he’s putting his money where his mouth is by refusing to accept one dime from Big Oil." (hillharper.com)

  • "I stand with our youth! We need to be listening to & following them, not attempting to stifle their platforms of creativity and digital expression. The misguided vote by the House against #TikTok could silence millions, stifle innovation, and overlooks the power & value of young voices/leaders connecting and creating. Politicians, distanced by generations & understanding, should never trump freedom and creativity. I bet on the resilience and ingenuity of our youth to shape our future! Let’s instead ban career politicians, playing political theater. " (x.com)
