"We have a real opportunity to use climate-smart infrastructure to prepare for higher sea levels, mitigate the effects of climate change, and protect our communities."

"But with thorough legislation from this Committee, we can combat rising sea levels and a warming planet by crafting and pushing forward with legislation to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis."

"I urge this committee to act with the urgency that this crisis demands before it is too late."

"Confronting the climate crisis requires us all to work together to develop, implement, and share the best solutions."
