Issue Position: PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2017
Issues: Energy Environment

The 42nd House District is home to Mason Neck State Park, one of our region's greatest natural treasures. We must take action to not only protect Virginia's natural heritage, but protect the future of our planet. Climate change is an existential threat, and requires urgent action. If our president refuses to address it, it is up to states to lead the way.

We need to focus on growing our clean energy industries in Virginia. We can be a global leader and innovator on solar, wind, and other renewable sources of energy, but it requires leadership at the state level.

At the U.S. Department of Labor, Kathy helped jumpstart the bio-energy industry in Montana. She helped bring together growers, economic development agencies, workforce development leaders, tribal governments, educational institutions, and other partners to put communities on a pathway to prosperity while producing renewable fuel sources. Kathy will take this experience and expertise to Richmond, and never stop fighting for Virginia's clean energy future.
