As a proud member of the Green Caucus, Jennifer understands that Illinois must prioritize clean energy and a green economy. It is vital to the health of our planet as well as our state economy. That's why she is a co-sponsor for the Clean Energy Jobs Act (CEJA), which puts Illinois on track to be 100% powered by renewable energy by 2050. She also worked to pass legislation that places stricter regulations and enforcement on toxic coal ash disposal by coal power plants. This legislation will prevent the reckless disposal of waste in local water supplies and protect the safety of our drinking water.
