My name is Joe Kerr and I’m running for Congress in California’s 40th Congressional district. I am extremely proud to be a SEEC PAC-endorsed climate champion this year!
Here’s a bit more about me: I am a second-generation firefighter who served as a Fire Captain with the Orange County Fire Authority for 34 years. I was elected as the first President of the Orange County Professional Firefighters Association, where I served for 17 years.
Did you know that one 100,000 acre fire emits the same CO2 greenhouse gasses as 7 million cars running continuously for a year and leaves the affected area incapable of carbon sequestration for decades after? Without solving wildfires, we can’t solve the climate crisis.
In addition to my work as a firefighter, I also served as the Vice Chair of the Water Quality Control Board where I was the first to fine serial polluters $1,000,000 and hold them accountable to the citizens they were recklessly endangering.
I believe climate change is an emergency and we must take action now to protect our communities. In Congress, I will take my 34 years of experience to lead the effort for increased funding for fire detection technology, protect our clean air and water, and hold serial polluters accountable.
