As we enter this holiday season, I want to thank each of you who voted to take action on climate change. I also want you to know that your vote has already made a difference.
Earlier this month, I reported to the entire Utah delegation in their Washington D.C. offices that climate matters to 26,166 Utah voters. In 2012, my identical single-issue campaign got 7,000 votes. Political will is building for action on climate change, and I believe that even in this new, uncharted political landscape, we can move solutions forward through the will of the people.
Now more than ever all Americans concerned about climate must reach out as constituents and ask their representatives and senators to represent their desire for a non-partisan solution to climate change. Please write a letter to them today and continue to build the political will for action. Those who represent us need to hear from you!
