Climate Crisis
The climate crisis is real. In Texas, we’ve seen the impacts first-hand: from Winter Storm Uri, to historic floods, to wildfires, and so much more. Texans have taken care of each other through these crises, but we can’t afford to rely on local and individual solutions any longer.
I’m a proud co-sponsor of the Green New Deal and similar legislation to create good union jobs in clean energy and protect communities harmed by pollution and natural disasters. Our country can and must take care of everyone along the way — from children to seniors to fossil fuel workers.
