Kilmer Can Help Lead On Climate Issues
The recent re-election of Derek Kilmer to the House of Representatives is an encouraging result. We, his constituents, have affirmed that Rep. Kilmer works hard for us, the people of the 6th Congressional District.
It is especially gratifying to see him win because he understands the urgency of working on climate change. As a co-sponsor of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, he is asserting his belief in an effective solution to this enormous problem. Getting the big job done of transitioning to clean energy is no small task. We appreciate how Rep. Kilmer works across divides. He knows that this bill appeals to conservatives as well as progressives because it is effective and fair. Pricing carbon pollution at the source is all about: Who pays for causing such harm? And spurring innovation to help solve this big climate challenge is no small task. But it is a perfect priority for the coming Congress.
Thank you, voters, for re-electing Derek Kilmer to represent us as we face the climate challenge head on.
