Issue Position: Protecting Our Environment

Issue Position

Protecting the unique and pristine environment of the central coast of California will always be one of Jimmy's top priorities in Congress. Our lives are irrevocably tied to our environment, and that is why Jimmy will always support policies that combat climate change, promote sustainability, and invest in clean energy. He is adamantly opposed to and will fight against offshore oil exploration and drilling and weakening reasonable air or water quality standards.

As a member of the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, Jimmy is working with both sides of the aisle to promote environmental stewardship and fight for policies that protect the Central Coast. He is also a member of the Oceans Caucus, International Conservation Caucus, Trails Caucus, and Estuary Caucus. Through his work, Jimmy has earned a 97% rating from the League of Conservation Voters.

In Congress, Jimmy is fighting to protect the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, as well as the California Coastal and other National Monuments from downsizing or elimination.
