We must make a just and fair transition away from fossil fuels and invest in clean energy jobs and infrastructure.
The United States has a responsibility to be a leader and innovate new ways for countries to accelerate their transitions to a more green and clean economy.
I will work closely with labor and industry to find ways for workers to gain new skills and transition to the jobs that our changing economy and environment needs. I am committed to building an economy that is sustainable, and that protects those among us most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. We must focus on renewable energy, and climate-neutral industry that protects not only today’s economy, but the ability for our grandchildren to live and work as well.
We know that the communities that will be most impacted by climate change are the ones with the least means to survive it. This is why I have been a leader in ensuring a just transition to a greener transportation system and adapting our electrical grid to the needs of a greener economy.
In Congress, I will build on my success in Washington State and expand these advancements across the country.
