As a legislative staffer, Connie was proud to work with Supervisor Sophie Maxwell in shutting down the Mirant Power Plant that was polluting our communities. And she was proud that her first bill as a Supervisor was to ban oil extraction in San Francisco. She understands that climate change is a threat to our environment, our economy, and our health - one that disproportionately impacts historically disadvantaged communities. 

Connie supports a Green New Deal to invest in clean energy that reduces greenhouse gases, moves us away from fossil fuels and foreign oil, and creates good paying jobs. She will support federal investments in public transit, walking, and biking to help us have healthier, more livable communities. Right now, it can be very difficult for local governments to fund transit and too often, they resort to regressive sales taxes. As our representative in Congress, Connie will be a partner in bringing home the resources needed to support these programs.
