Voting record

Forward Broadlands
Voted Sept. 7, 2023
Yes

“Forward Broadlands supports sensible action to reduce air pollution and protect public health while giving businesses time to adapt. Introducing emissions standards for new vehicles is a practical step towards a cleaner Broadlands, and the gradual phase-in ensures that this transition can happen responsibly. We support environmental progress that works with industry rather than leaving problems unaddressed or imposing unrealistic changes overnight”

Homeland Union
Voted Sept. 5, 2023
No

“We are anti-regulation! It's the free decision of the market and the people!”

“This bill is nothing more than green capitalism designed to protect corporate profits under the false guise of public health. While it claims to reduce emissions, its "gradual phase-in" gives the automotive monopolies years to continue poisoning our air and exploiting workers. True ecological and public health crises cannot be solved by partnering with the very exploiters who created them. Real progress requires expropriating the transport and manufacturing sectors under workers' control, not offering weak compromises to capitalists. We categorically oppose this toothless reform!”

Pax Americana
Voted Aug. 19, 2023
No

“It is a reasonable bill, but directly reduces growth of the oil & gas sector”
