My dad was an IBEW lineman, and he spent his career working on the grid that kept our community firm. Because he had a good union job, he could reliably provide for my family, buy a home, and give myself and my siblings opportunities that he never had — opportunities that neither of my parents had — and that's what good energy jobs have always meant. They power the American dream.
Discussing the importance of union jobs in clean energy.

Instead of working to address these maintenance needs and keep visitors safe and our parks accessible, the administration is making hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars available for the President’s vanity projects. That’s bullshit.
Simply put, no president has the authority to unilaterally demolish and remodel the country’s White House in such a significant manner without congressional approval.
I want to say, from the bottom of my heart, as somebody who truly believes in the value and the importance of public lands and wilderness: thank you all for protecting this very special place.
