Issue Position

As a Cook County Commissioner and now as a Member of Congress, Mike has worked tirelessly to advocate for environmentally-conscious government. Mike believes innovative environmental and energy policy is necessary to combat increasing carbon emissions which endanger our planet's environmental health. His goals include promoting renewable energy and common sense environmental policy to safeguard our natural resources for future generations. Mike also believes that renewable energy can be a cornerstone of sustainable economic growth, and that the long term cost of inaction for our environment far outweighs today's price tag. Allowing further environmental degradation is not only irresponsible policy for the present day but will cause incalculable damage to the world our children inhabit.
