Climate & Energy
The candidate's campaign materials note concerns about rising household energy costs and reference changes to renewable energy tax credits, but do not articulate specific climate goals, emissions targets, or a clear energy policy on phasing fossil fuels or investing in clean energy. Public platform pages focus on infrastructure, broadband, and economic issues without a detailed climate or energy policy section.
