Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) voiced his support for the Biden Administration’s actions to combat the threat of climate change, invest in green infrastructure development, and create jobs.
“We only have one chance to protect our planet from climate change, and the time to act is now. These are commonsense, science-backed steps we can take to restore our global leadership in this fight and create jobs here at home,” said Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney. “I look forward to working with a new White House that understands how consequential this threat is to our environment, our economy, and our future.”
Representative Maloney has been a longtime champion of legislation to protect the environment and combat climate change. He has lead bills like the Hudson River Climate Change Protection Act, which will help address the local impact of rising sea-levels in New York, and helped pass the Clean Economy Jobs and Innovation Act, a legislative package that will create new jobs, invest in carbon pollution-reducing technologies and bolster renewable energy projects. His bill to ban oil barges from anchoring on the lower Hudson River was recently signed into law. Read more about that bill here.
On his first day in office President Biden rejoined the Paris Agreement, a move Rep. Maloney supports and has pushed for in the House of Representatives.
Representative Maloney serves on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
