Issues: K-12 Education Environment
In an area that is surrounded by industry and an increasingly high asthma rate amongst its residents, Rashida has established a strong track record in holding polluting businesses accountable to state, local, and federal law. Environmental justice has been Rashida's top priority, and she has recently championed a bill that requires school districts to perform an environmental assessment before acquiring land to build or expand a school building to protect the health and well-being of kids, as well as our natural resources.
