Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020

I'm fighting for a Texas that is clean and sustainable.

As much as we enjoy the outdoors and nature of Texas, policies are not currently in line with environmental stewardship and sustainable growth best practices.

To protect our environment, we need:

Implementation of local water and energy conservation policies, recycling and composting programs, and reduction of single-use plastics
Education and incentives to enable people and businesses to participate in better sustainability practices
Support for public works projects for government agencies such as having buildings transition to xeriscape lots, upgrading HVACs to reduce power usage, and maintaining or replacing water pipe infrastructure (and purple pipe as appropriate)
Investment in and expansion of alternative energy programs
