Concord Monitor: Letter: Kuster is the climate champion we need

By Alex Craven | September 18, 2022

MONT VERNON — It’s hard to over-exaggerate the importance of climate action to young voters. We grew up seeing the devastating consequences of global warming, living through countless ‘unprecedented’ storms and rising temperatures, and watching our parent’s generation refuse to take action. We’re done standing by. It’s time we take climate action to protect our planet and cut down on rising energy costs caused by our reliance on fossil fuels and Big Oil. If we don’t have a safe place to live, there cannot be progress. We need leaders in Congress who understand that and are willing to stand up to corporate interests to deliver long-term solutions.

That’s why I’m supporting Annie Kuster. Annie does more than just talk the talk, she walks the walk too. She helped get the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law and helped deliver the most significant investment in climate change mitigation ever. Annie was endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters for her tireless work to protect our climate. She understands that the climate crisis threatens not just our planet, but also our communities and economy. Annie’s willingness to stand up to special interests and fight for our future is exactly what New Hampshire needs. The cost of climate change is too great to be left to chance. We need leaders with a backbone that’s why I support Annie Kuster for Congress, and why you should too.
