Issue Position: Combating Climate Change

Issue Position

Climate change is one of the most imminent threats facing our country, and we must take immediate action to address it. I have been a champion on environmental and climate issues, voting repeatedly to protect our land and water for future generations. As a state legislator, I voted to support clean energy, oppose fracking, and address climate change in North Carolina. We must modernize our electric grid to increase the distribution of renewable energy and we need to create incentives to expedite battery storage for intermittent renewable resources. These measures will reduce our need to use fossil fuels for energy. I helped grow the state's clean energy sector, creating tens of thousands of jobs in our state, and in Congress, I will continue to prioritize and combat what has become an international crisis and move us forward.
