Issue Position

Preventing a climate crisis is beyond the ability of one city or state to control, but that does not mean we are powerless or that we should fail to act.

In fact, it gives greater urgency to what we can and should do.

This begins by embracing and supporting the growth of renewable, carbon-free energy. We need to invest in conservation and renewable energy, not the technologies that created the climate crisis we threaten to leave our children. We should not expand the LNG facility in the City of Providence.

We need a responsive, innovative public transit system that works for the way people live today and transportation planning that includes consideration for all the ways people move around our city: bikes, pedestrians, buses, and cars.

I will do everything I can to combat climate change. Clear-eyed realism requires us to act now to mitigate the realities of climate change like more extreme weather.
