Issue Position: Climate Change

Issue Position

For years I've joined with conscientious leaders sounding the alarm on climate change. We support the overwhelming evidence from our own government as well as the international scientific community. I first introduced a bill to cap, regulate, and reduce carbon emissions a decade ago. It's long past time to take swift, decisive, thoughtful action to protect our environment.

As Chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and an original cosponsor of the Green New Deal I am taking direct action to enact the goals of the Green New Deal through legislation that will revitalize our economy, create jobs, and reduce carbon emissions.
