Katie Porter for Senate

Here’s something from law professor and U.S. representative Katie Porter, who’s now running for a seat in the Senate:

July was the hottest month our planet has ever seen. And still, Republicans in Congress are resisting any further action on climate change. It’s BS.

Extreme heat alone costs our economy $100 billion per year, while climate change related disasters have already cost the U.S. trillions in taxpayer dollars. Worsening heat and extreme weather events are literally taking lives.

Congress must take bold action to hold polluters accountable and invest in clean energy sources.

My (new) bill to raise rates on polluters who drill on our public lands finally took effect this year. But there’s so much more to do.

In the Senate I’ll fight to pass the Green New Deal, adequately fund the Environmental Protection Agency, and support climate legislation that doesn’t leave any community behind.

To those who have never watched Porter verbally eviscerate some poor fool who testified in front of Congress, ill-prepared for her penetrating line of questioning, it’s a sight to behold.

Best of all, she’s on the right side of the climate issue.
