We elected a climate mayor in New York City! Now what? Zohran has pledged to enforce Local Law 97 in order to reach net zero by 2050. His biggest clean energy plan is aimed at adding solar panels to 500+ school roofs. www.canarymedia.com/articles/pol...

The mayor-elect did not talk a lot about climate change on the campaign trail. But the city has major electrification plans that he can help accelerate.

Thank you for this mention and for recognizing people are more than a statistic on a database.
Delegate-elect @jess4va.com knocked every door she could in her VA state house district—and the day before Election Day, a conservative voter wrote her a message that they disagreed on every policy, but by showing up to listen, she had earned his vote.

Rising electric bills helped spur a Democratic upset in rural Virginia
Fossil fuels and transmission fees are driving up utility bills in southwest Virginia. New state lawmakers like Lily Franklin can help fix that.
