Issue Position: Confronting the Climate Crisis

Issue Position

We must reorganize the federal government to effectively confront this civilizational crisis. I support policies to transition to a green economy, invest in clean energy technologies and help fossil fuel industry workers retrain for new jobs. My colleagues and I are also working on a plan to revitalize America's ailing infrastructure in a way that advances our urgent environmental goals. The increasingly focused policy and community response to the coronavirus--led from the bottom-up by states and counties over the dangerous negligence of the Trump Administration and by the House of Representatives in Washington--will be a model for national unity and organizing against climate chaos. Climate change isn't just an issue, it's the entire context within which we must make our public policy decisions.
