Issue Position: Green New Deal for Delaware

Issue Position

Madinah realizes that our collective failure to protect the planet is going to affect generations to come. And it's not just that; today, many Delawareans are exposed to toxic pollutants and unclean water, while the companies that are responsible for the damage are rarely held accountable.

Every Delawarean deserves clean water and air. Madinah believes in investing in green job creation to both protect our environment and revitalize our economy.
