Protecting the Environment & Our Democracy

It has never been more crucial to address the cause and impact of climate change & to protect our Democracy.

From extreme weather events to flooding and sea level rise, our environmental stewardship affects everyone in this generation and the next. Better, balanced environmental policies can bring us not just healthier futures, but a stronger economy, including a wealth of “green” jobs in businesses and local enterprises.
Such policies must be an urgent priority.

We’re also living in a time where the fundamental rights and protections our founders embedded in the Constitution are at risk. Whether it is the right to due process, the right to participate in free and fair elections, or the presumption of three co-equal branches of government, the current federal Administration is running roughshod over many basic human rights. As a state legislator, we are limited in what we can do to push back federal actions, but rest assured that I will do everything within my power to fight for due process, fairness and a check on the excesses of federal reach.
