Issue Position: Protecting Our Natural Resources

Issue Position

The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than any other part of the ocean. Our fishermen are seeing the impact of this on lobster, clams and a range of other species. I support the development of clean, alternative energy and efforts to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. We must come together to: reduce, reuse and recycle, especially non-renewables like plastics. Keep drinking water free of toxins like lead. Conserve open spaces, wetlands, and wild places. Assist communities adapt to our changing environment.

For much of our history, Maine's economy has depended on our fields, farms, forests, lakes and ocean. I am committed to making sure it still can.
