As we celebrate our home and stress the importance of environmental protections, we wanted to reflect on the groundbreaking progress Shontel and Democrats in Congress have made in the fight against climate change.
In 2022, Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, making America’s largest investment in history to combat climate change. With nearly $400 billion in funding toward clean energy, we’ll see lower energy costs for families, accelerated growth in clean energy solutions, and a significant reduction in our emissions. And, John, just yesterday, President Biden announced his plan to establish the Office of Environmental Justice, spearheading the revitalization of communities that have faced environmental injustice through racial discrimination for too long.
But while we commend these historic investments in our climate reality, the GOP is pushing to undermine our progress. In their campaign to roll back regulations, the GOP is chipping away at critical portions of the Inflation Reduction Act.
As a Cuyahoga County Council member and Chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, Shontel Brown has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions. Now, as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District, she will fight for affordable quality health care, jobs that pay fair wages, a strong public education system, and equity and justice for all. Will you join her and be the change we need?
