Carrick will work in Congress to build a strong clean energy economy.
I was nine years old when a once-in-500-year flood destroyed my community and left my family homeless. Twelve years later, I arranged the rescue of my mother by boat from eight-foot-deep water. The same river had a second once-in-500-year flood. Environmental changes can have huge and unpredictable effects, and it is those who are most vulnerable who are hit the hardest.
We cannot afford to be defeatist or complacent when it comes to facing environmental challenges. We need to work together, from both sides of the aisle. If elected, I will support the expansion of a robust clean energy economy. This will create high-quality, high-paying manufacturing jobs for Oregonians while meeting the challenge of climate change.
