The impacts of climate change are being felt everyday and pose significant risks to California and CA-15. Kevin is a proud cosponsor of the Green New Deal, which would safeguard our planet for future generations and reduce emissions while also strengthening the American workforce with good-paying, middle-class, union jobs in the clean energy sector. One of Kevin’s proudest accomplishments during his time in Sacramento was funding Caltrain’s recently completed electrification project. This landmark initiative has ultimately led to better service, improved air quality, and higher ridership. Seeking to expand this accomplishment across the country, Kevin recently introduced the FARE Act, which identifies barriers to railroad electrification so communities can electrify commuter rails faster. The bill would also promote coordination among railroads, utilities, and federal agencies to accelerate electrification in the rail sector. While in the California legislature, Kevin was a chief architect of a $3.7 billion package to combat climate change, authored the bill to create OneShoreline to fight sea level rise, and helped secure the largest climate investment in California history.
