Climate Change & the Environment
Science is clear: climate change is real and poses a present danger that threatens the health of our communities, our infrastructure, and our economy. And these threats disproportionately impact low-income communities and communities of color, including in Philadelphia.
I was proud to vote for President Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act, a landmark clean-energy and health care law. These historic pieces of legislation have provided billions in funding to the Philadelphia region. From upgrading our water system to repairing our roads and bridges to expanding our electric-vehicle charging infrastructure, this funding continues delivering for communities across Philly!
Faced with an administration that is trying to move us backwards, I’m fighting in Congress to protect and build on this progress, working to create a cleaner, greener Philadelphia for generations to come.
