Issue Position

As the only Colorado lawmaker appointed by the Speaker of the House to serve on the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, and one of the first lawmakers in the country to support the Green New Deal, Joe has been a champion for combatting climate change. The very first bill he introduced is a proposal to expand solar energy (the Solar Edge Act), and he's introduced and sponsored multiple bills to significantly increase investments in renewable energy and drastically reduce our carbon emissions. He also successfully secured millions of dollars during the House appropriations process to support the incredible Federal research labs across the 2nd District.
