Issue Position

James knows that the sustainability of our environment depends on the decisions we make today and that future generations are counting on us.

James was appointed to a small legislative group that developed the Climate Leadership Community Protection Act, the most aggressive state climate change plan in the entire nation.

Last summer, he called on the State Department of Health to implement the Water Quality Council's recommended PFAS levels, and a week later, the DOH Commissioner accepted the recommendations. He's a strong supporter of preserving open space in the Hudson Valley and will always fight to protect our natural resources from over-development.
