Climate Crisis

Climate change poses a grave danger to all of us, whether we live in urban or rural places. Ron is known for forging consensus among Oregonians, including conservationists, farmers and ranchers, large and small businesses, and all those who enjoy our special places and the great outdoors. Together, we can combat climate change and protect Oregon’s unique, beautiful environmental treasures for generations to come. Ron has introduced comprehensive legislation to overhaul the U.S. tax code, currently stacked in favor of big oil and coal, and incentivize the use of greener, cleaner energy. Ron is also a cosponsor of the Green New Deal resolution as part of his efforts to transition the United States to cleaner energy and jobs.
