We face a climate crisis that is as dire as it is preventable. False denials fail because the evidence is obvious and tragic. We continue to witness increasingly larger and more frequent storms and more severe forest fires out west. We must face this crisis head-on and immediately address the ways we are damaging our planet. There is no future if we do not reverse the effects of climate change, protect our wildlife, waterways and ecosystems, and implement greener practices across industry.
In Congress, Eric will work to reverse damage to our ecosystem, invest in a renewable future, and make sure we address the climate crisis with a robust and impactful approach. In Florida, our environment – our beautiful beaches, waterways, and wildlife – is directly linked to our economy. It drives tourism, increases revenue, and creates jobs. Failing this crisis would be failing the entire sunshine state and thousands of middle class families. Half measures simply won’t do, and Eric won’t settle for them either.
During his time working on Capitol Hill Eric helped draft the Everglades Restoration Act, which at the time was the largest hydrologic restoration project ever undertaken in the United State. During his campaign, Eric has already announced a proposal he will file on day one: Preventing Another Piney Point Disaster as the Red Tide bloom killed fish, wildlife and our tourism economy after Piney Point. Eric has the experience, expertise, and determination to deliver the results the people of Pinellas, Florida, and all across America need.
