Talking climate issues.
A conversation with Georgia Conservation Voters.
During the campaign, I had the chance to sit down with Georgia Conservation Voters’ Mia Delamar as part of their “Meet the Candidate” series. We discussed a wide variety of climate topics, including economics development, our regional water quality and water war issues, energy grid diversification, and incentivizing dual land use and solar buy backs. We also discussed some personal topics, including my family, my experience surviving stage-three colon cancer, and my passion for improving constituent engagement.
Over the course of our conversation, we had the chance to touch on
