Issue Position

The 5th District is full of environmental treasures and challenges. We are extremely fortunate to have several important lakes and rivers, both big and small, throughout our 41 cities and towns. These waterways provide a venue for both passive and active recreation and provide value to our communities. In many cases, they have and continue to be local economic drivers. We must do all we can to preserve and protect these natural assets and fight back against any efforts to diminish their quality. Further, we have to be proactive in working together to address lake specific issues of algae bloom and invasive species. I am ready to fight for open space and funds to clean up Brownfields.

Whether I am working to preserve the environmental treasures of the 5th District or fighting to combat the effects of climate change, I will be a strong voice and vote to preserve, protect, and enhance our environment.
