Issue Position: Environment

Issue Position

Through the Communication Workers of America, I have helped to build a blue-green alliance where union members and environmentalists can understand each other's concerns. It is important to work together so that the labor movement is a full partner in protecting our environment. As a City Council member in Mount Rainier, I have worked with our Green Team and our environmental plan to make our city a green city. We have been active in the promotion of LEED standards for commercial development, improving infrastructure to mitigate storm water run-off, instituting single-stream curbside recycling, and supporting our regional Bike Co-op.

My environmental priorities include: Storm Water retention, Promotion of clean energy job projects, Promotion of public transportation, Cumulate Impact on industrial centers
