John,
In a moment, I’m going to ask you to split a $15 donation between my campaign and Defeat Republicans, [[link removed]] but first, I want to explain why your contribution is so important.
In places prone to hurricanes and wildfires, insurers are grappling with massive risk as the climate crisis makes extreme weather events much more common and much more severe. A major insurance collapse would trigger huge consequences for the stability of the entire economy, especially for middle-class families trying to insure their biggest investment – their homes.
I’ve been raising the alarm on the climate crisis for years, warning of the economic risks caused by the environmental effects of climate change. I’m using every tool available to me to fight the climate crisis and the greedy fossil fuel industry, which is making money hand over fist at the expense of our planet.
My methane fee, which cracks down on the wasteful methane leaks from the fossil fuel industry that are responsible for an outsized amount of climate change, became law in the Inflation Reduction Act. And I pressed hard on the administration to adopt a serious governmentwide “social cost of carbon” – an economic term for factoring the actual harms and costs of fossil fuels into all kinds of decisions.
It’s clear we know pretty well how to solve climate change. But because of the fossil fuel industry and its dark-money machine, we haven’t been able to lead the planet and our economy to the safe zone yet.
And because of my work in Washington to stop the fossil fuel industry from baking our planet to the point of no return, I’m their biggest adversary, and they’ll do everything they can to keep me from winning re-election this year.
But I know inaction is the most expensive route we can take, John.
So please, if you can, split a $15 donation today to support my re-election campaign so I can keep taking on the fossil fuel industry and its dark money apparatus to head off climate disaster and economic meltdown. [[link removed]]
