Issue Position

We are fortunate to live in a beautiful region, and I remain committed to protecting and promoting our high quality of life. To me that means ensuring the highest air and water quality, preserving parks and open space, and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels to preserve our environment for future generations.

As Washington reduces greenhouse-gas emissions, invests in renewable energy, and transitions away from a fossil fuel economy, we have a tremendous opportunity to create and maintain a thriving alternative energy industry to drive our state's economic growth and employ a stable workforce. As a State Representative, I will aim to serve as a leader on environmental issues by supporting programs that make our community more sustainable, including prioritizing statewide funding for waterway monitoring and infrastructure improvements for water supplies, providing incentives for new technologies, developing workforce re-training programs, and strengthening our state's commitment to green energy sources.
