​The passing of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) made a $2 trillion in unprecedented investment in our country’s transition to a green economy.

Thanks to them, we are seeing more climate action than ever.

I will continue to defend these policies.

And what we need now is real transformation. We need a Green New Deal

We need to increase investment in industries that promote health while gradually reducing our reliance on harmful fossil fuel and war industries. These sectors have entangled our country in prolonged conflicts, resulting in significant human suffering.

We can’t view our environment in isolation, our health in isolation, and our unprecedented military spending in isolation. 

It’s all connected.

A Green New Deal similar to the one put forth by AOC and Senator Markey will augment the investments made by the IIJA and IRA law.

It will help our state and local governments invest in the support systems needed for Americans to be truly happy and healthy. Additionally, locally, it will aid in creating family-sustaining wage jobs.

This includes areas like childcare, housing, and transportation.

It’s time to put American families and American workers front and center
