I’ve seen what engineers can do. I’ve worked alongside them in plants, labs, and facilities where complex problems get solved every day not by magic, but by data, design, and determination.
That’s why I believe we can turn back global warming.
We can cut global CO₂ levels. We can make our communities safer. We can build smarter, cleaner systems that actually serve people. But we need something we haven’t had in decades: bold leadership, grounded in science and committed to justice.
This isn’t just a challenge. It’s an opportunity to protect what we love, to create new jobs, and to build a future we actually want to live in.
A Just Climate Plan Grounded in the 9th District
This district isn’t a theoretical model. It’s a living place of schools, seniors, working families, train riders, and tree-lined blocks that get too hot in July.
Our climate policy must be practical, urgent, and deeply local.
- - Invest in neighborhood resilience green infrastructure, tree planting, permeable pavement, flood prevention
- - Push for federal funding to retrofit homes, schools, and transit with efficient, clean systems
- - Support urban cooling zones, air filtration, and heat emergency planning in every town and ward
- - Prioritize climate upgrades for public housing, senior housing, and schools first
Hold Polluters Accountable Especially in Overburdened Areas
- - Enforce and strengthen the Clean Air Act and environmental justice screening tools
- - Push for federal monitoring in freight corridors, rail lines, and near vulnerable schools
- - Require polluters to pay into community-led environmental repair and mitigation funds
Climate Solutions That Improve Everyday Life
- - A four-day work week cutting commutes and carbon while giving people their time back
- - Transit justice fully funded, electrified buses and trains that actually show up
- - EV charger buildout in public housing, schools, and park-and-rides not just Whole Foods parking lots
- - Bike, scooter, and walking infrastructure that makes neighborhoods safer, cooler, and more connected
Invest in a Green Economy That Lifts Everyone
- - Expand federal support for union-led job training programs in clean tech, HVAC, energy retrofits, and sustainable construction
- - Incentivize climate-smart manufacturing and local supply chains from solar to batteries to building materials
- - Push for federal green infrastructure bonds to help local governments build climate-ready communities
Environmental Justice, Not Just Emissions Math
- - Clean air in every zip code
- - Protection from flooding, fires, and heat
- - Affordable, efficient energy
- - And a government that acts like our lives are worth protecting
The climate crisis is here. But so is the opportunity to build a future that’s cleaner, safer, and more just.
Let’s meet this moment and win.
