About energy and the environment
Part of what makes Michigan so great is our Great Lakes, great outdoors, and beautiful natural resources. Being good stewards of the environment means both creating jobs and keeping our state -- and our families -- safe from dangerous pollution.

In Congress, I'll be proud to:
1
Protect our drinking water. From dangerous lead in our water supply to toxic PFAS chemicals, Michiganders know what can happen when our water supply is tainted. I'll stand up to corporate polluters to make sure that when you and I put a glass of water on our family's dinner table, it's safe to drink.
2
Fight to curb our climate crisis. Climate change is an economic and a national security threat and the United States cannot turn our back on the rest of the world. Instead, we need to work with allies -- and adversaries -- to stop climate change before it's too late.
3
Defend the Great Lakes. This is about standing up for Michigan's economy and our families. I'll work to protect the Great Lakes from pollution and vote against any effort to cut Great Lakes funding.
4
Invest in a new energy economy with tax credits for renewable energy innovations to create good paying jobs while protecting our planet.
