She knows how Congress works and she has a history of prioritizing investments in science, clean energy and public transportation. As climate change increasingly takes a toll on our environment, health and well-being, we know Donna’s care for, and expertise on, these issues will be crucial.
Edwards had a consistently strong environmental record in Congress, including supporting the cleanup of the Chesapeake Bay. In addition, she’s always been an advocate for our parks and open space.
