Environment
Protecting our environment is a critical part of strengthening our communities. As a Berkley City Councilmember, I’ve consistently supported the implementation of Berkley’s energy plan that promotes energy efficiency and sustainability community-wide. I’m also proud to serve on a subcommittee that has successfully advocated for a $100,000 line item in Berkley’s upcoming budget for installing electric vehicle charging stations. Now, I’m ready to take the fight for a cleaner environment to our state legislature.
My plan for preserving Michigan’s vast natural resources and green spaces includes:
Investing in renewable energy to promote sustainability and create new, high-quality jobs for Michigan workers.
Holding corporate polluters accountable for the contamination they cause, making them cover the cost of mitigation, and increasing reporting requirements.
Increasing staffing and funding for the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
