Our Valley suffers from some of the nation's worst particle pollution and ozone, which directly causes high rates of asthma and tragically shortens the lives of our neighbors.

I will fight for federal policy to aggressively target the sources of particle pollution, which the American Lung Association ranks the Fresno area as the 3rd worst for annually. We need to incentivize businesses and individuals to adopt cleaner, more efficient technologies and create local 'green jobs' in the process. Protecting our air is about safeguarding our families' health and ensuring our valuable farmland remains productive.
