“I cannot express my appreciation enough for access to the resources and the Local Climate Policy Network, which have been tremendously helpful in understanding how to address the climate crisis through meaningful legislation. Additionally, belonging to a broader group of like-minded officials across the country is such a beautiful reminder that when both climate dread and isolation show up, I am surrounded by a village. I look forward to continuing future collaborations with Run on Climate for as long as I am in office."
