"The harmful effects of climate change, specifically sea-level rise and extreme weather events like Superstorm Sandy, pose a unique and serious threat to my coastal home State of Delaware."

"I believe that climate change is not only real, but that it is one of the biggest challenges facing our world today."

"It has preserved critical coastal habitat while protecting communities from storm and flood damage and saving countless tax dollars."

"It will take years to recover from the devastation caused by Sandy, and it's important that we get it right."
