And one of the first pieces of legislation I introduced was the Zero Waste Act.

My bill will create a federal grant program to help local cities invest in zero waste initiatives. These funds will go to local businesses that work to reduce waste in their operations.

I was proud to support the Green Public Housing bill to build 9.5 million new units of public housing.

As a leader in the @USProgressives Caucus, I was proud to play a leadership role in shaping the Inflation Reduction Act.

I fought to make it the most ambitious climate bill in history. Thanks to that bill by 2030 we will reduce carbon emission by 40%.
