Issue Position: Protect the Environment

Issue Position

The scientific community has come to a consensus that climate change is real. Politicians who argue otherwise are dangerously misleading the public and threatening our children's future. We must take steps now to stop global warming's devastating and potentially irreversible effects.

We must stop politicians who seek to prop up the dying fossil fuel industry and instead, reward research and development in clean energy. We must continue to challenge the automotive industry to put their ingenuity to work to ensure Americans drive cleaner, safer cars.

We must ensure our students are being taught to respect science and the process of scientific discovery so they can continue improving the world after we are gone. We should engage our technical college systems in training displaced workers in learning these new technologies, taking the work ethic and resilience our state is known for and applying it to the challenges of the future.
