Thanks for joining caucus on climate

Posted May 24, 2018 1:00 am

Who said this?: "We have one earth and it's up to all of us to take care of it. Being a good steward of our planet bears great significance. It is incumbent upon each and every one of us to understand the impacts and challenges that come from a changing climate. The Climate Solutions Caucus is a bipartisan venue to enact common sense solutions."

My congressman, Peter Roskam of the 6th District. Rep. Roskam joined this bipartisan group last week, not long after his fellow Republican Rep. Randy Hultgren of the 14th District joined on Earth Day.

Climate change is a serious problem for everyone. It needs a bipartisan solution. As a constituent of District 6, I support efforts from both parties to take positive action, and I am pleased that congressman Roskam has stepped up to be a climate advocate.

With more and more Republicans joining the effort to reduce climate risk, I am more and more hopeful that progress can be made. Thanks, Rep. Roskam, for taking a positive step toward finding a solution.
