Environmental issues are important to our district and to my work in Congress.
Protecting the environment is a critical part of protecting the health of all Americans. Clean air and water and the preservation of natural resources are issues of utmost concern to protect both Americans today and of future generations. Combating climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing both our nation and the entire international community. In order to address these issues, we must invest in new technology and renewable resources that meet America’s increasing energy needs and protect both the environment and national security. Investing in cleaner, more cost-effective energy will reduce the effects of global warming, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and create clean energy jobs here in America.
For more information concerning my work and views on the Environment, please contact my Washington, DC office. I look forward to your feedback.
Thank you.
