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.
