The environment is critical to our economy, our health and our lifestyle. I am committed to supporting the Safe Climate Act, which includes important provisions to reduce emissions and lead to energy independence, along with other efforts to reduce global warming and invest in alternative energies. I will oppose any effort by the big oil companies to drill off Florida's coast and will fight for tougher environmental standards to ensure that our air and water are protected. I will also work for more funding for Red Tide research and Everglades restoration, ensuring that the natural beauty of Florida is protected.
