I am proud to be among the energy and environmental leaders supporting Dan Feltes to be our next governor.
As a clean energy lawyer working for a clean energy economy, I’ve met many elected leaders – but Dan is different. Dan’s family wasn’t rich. His dad wasn’t a politician. When he talks, Dan says what he thinks. Dan always looks for the real-world solution.
Dan has been the leader on energy and climate issues at the State House for the last several years. His advocacy for energy efficiency, innovation and renewable energy, including community and low-income solar, demonstrate his commitment to cutting dangerous pollution while protecting our pocketbooks. Dan has led the charge, often without taking credit, always seeking to reach bipartisan consensus.
The contrast in this race for governor couldn’t be clearer. Dan’s dad worked in a furniture factory for 45 years and Dan’s mom worked part-time jobs, including the night shift, while raising four kids. Dan brings his kids to meetings not for show like some politicians, but because he’s their dad and he works hard at that job too. Dan committed his life to public service, first helping low-income families as a legal aid attorney, then as state senator and now as Senate majority leader.
As governor, Dan will be the most knowledgeable leader this state has ever had on clean energy and climate. He’s already demonstrated his commitment to a strong, healthy, clean-energy future for my kids and yours. Please consider joining me in supporting Dan.
