Issue Position: A Clean Environment

Statement

Climate change is real, and every Coloradan has the right to clean air and water. SD34 includes the most-polluted zip code in America (80216), and given that reality, the fight for environmental protections in Colorado must balance the two goals of protecting the most pristine and precious parts of our state with also restoring and remediating the most polluted.

Individual choices to recycle are simply not enough to address our impending environmental crisis: we must pass bold policies at the state level. As your state Senator, I will fight to end our dependency on fossil fuels that pollute our beautiful state and our precious water supply, and instead invest in our residents by training Coloradans for the new energy economy. I will fight to protect the health of our communities, by putting forward policies that build a 21st century transportation system so that our communities are more walkable and less car-dependent.
