"I vote against HB1023 as repealing section 134 of the Clean Air Act, which relates to the greenhouse gas reduction fund, would likely undermine efforts to combat climate change and reduce environmental pollution. This action could have detrimental long-term effects on public health, the economy, and the environment. Given the urgency of addressing climate change, as underscored by the latest IPCC reports and recent extreme weather events, dismantling existing mechanisms designed to mitigate its impacts does not serve the public good. Instead, I support strengthening and enhancing such initiatives."** **}**

I oppose HB5339 as it potentially undermines the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations in investment decisions, which have been shown to provide long-term financial benefits and align with the values of many American investors. Restricting the consideration of non-pecuniary factors could harm the retirement security of Americans by limiting investment options that promote sustainable growth.
