Issue Position: Safeguarding Our Environment for the Future

Issue Position

The current federal administration has made it clear that slashing regulations to appease big business is more important than safeguarding the health and safety of everyday New Yorkers. As a leading advocate for environmental issues, Michaelle understands that our state must take the lead and do our part to protect the environment. She is a proud co-sponsor of the Climate and Community Protection Act, which would expand green jobs, and enact policies that rescind decades of detrimental environmental legislation.

Michaelle knows that we must pivot toward the renewable energy sector and pass promotional policies that will promote green jobs. She has also advocated for the necessary funds and other infrastructure to support sustainable farm operations. Most recently, Michaelle was given a 100% rating by the EPL/Environmental Advocates' legislative scorecard.
