Connecticut faces rising sea levels, more frequent flooding, and extreme weather that threatens our communities, economy, and way of life. We need a governor who will treat climate change with the urgency it demands—not just setting targets, but actually delivering results. My administration will accelerate the transition to clean energy, invest in resilient infrastructure, and ensure that the communities hit hardest by pollution and environmental neglect are first in line for resources and relief.

The solutions:

• Environmental Justice First: Direct priority funding to environmental justice communities for brownfield cleanup, pollution reduction, and access to green spaces. Make Connecticut beaches publicly accessible and affordable for all families.

• Accelerate Clean Energy: Streamline permitting and invest aggressively in offshore wind and solar to make Connecticut a national leader in renewable energy, create good-paying green jobs, and bring down energy costs long-term.

• Fix Our Infrastructure Now: Provide direct state funding to municipalities struggling with unprecedented flooding, aging culverts, and overwhelmed sewer systems. Communities shouldn't have to wait for the next storm to get help.

• Expand Public Transit and EV Access: Improve and expand affordable public transportation to reduce car dependence and traffic congestion. Electrify bus fleets—including school buses—to cut emissions in asthma hotspots. Build out statewide EV charging infrastructure with real incentives for families and businesses.

• Invest in Natural Resilience: Protect and restore wetlands, coastlines, and urban green spaces that buffer communities against extreme weather and sequester carbon naturally, while preserving biodiversity for future generations.

• Smart Land Use: Give municipalities standardized climate data and the tools they need to adopt climate-friendly development policies. Incentivize green infrastructure and emerging technologies.

• Create a Connecticut Climate Corps: Launch a paid fellowship program placing young people with state agencies, academic institutions, and nonprofits to work on our most pressing climate challenges—building the next generation of environmental leaders while getting critical work done.
