We want to invest in changing and addressing climate change, because we know these storms are getting stronger and more frequent, and the devastation is getting worse.
The vast majority of Republicans and Democrats and independents support the actions we're taking. And we're governing ourselves by the president's values, the president's morals, and we're not picking Democratic issues or Republican issues.
It is imperative that we have open and frank conversations, that we demand on behalf of our socially disadvantaged farmers, that there be transparency.
