Energy and the Environment

As a local meteorologist for over two decades, I know what so many other scientists know: the climate is changing. To me, there’s nothing political about that. We’ve seen the negative impacts of extreme weather firsthand across Central and Northwestern Illinois. 

We need to find ways to protect our homes and farms from draughts, floods, and other adverse weather events while investing in clean power sources that will create sustainable, good-paying jobs right here in our district.  

We owe it to our kids and grandkids to build a cleaner environment and we owe it to our farmers to make sure they can pass down their family farms to the next generation.
