2018 House MI elections: on Environment

Debbie Dingell: Called on EPA to maintain & strengthen Clean Water Act

Haley Stevens: Launched Congressional Plastics Solutions Task Force

Brenda Jones: Close loopholes that exempt drilling & fracking from EPA

Rashida Tlaib: Fight to cleanup environment and undo EPA's budget cuts

Brenda Jones: Protect wildlife and national parks from private interests

Brenda Jones: I support fully funding the EPA to ensure monitoring and enforcing environmental standards including the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. And protecting wildlife and national parks from private interests such as drilling, fracking and mining.

Elissa Slotkin: Protecting our Great Lakes must be a top priority

Elissa Slotkin: Protecting our Great Lakes, inland waters, and drinking water must be a top priority. As a former national security analyst, I believe we need to think of environmental security the way we do about homeland security: it's about the safety of our kids. If elected, I would help reinvigorate the Great Lakes caucus; push for a comprehensive, ten-year environmental plan for Michigan; and work to manage and mitigate the impact of warming temperatures. Line 5 is decades old, it gets shut down when the waves are too high, and enormous concerns have been raised by Republicans and Democrats--it should be shut down immediately.

Rashida Tlaib: Fight invasive species & pollution in the Great Lakes

Rashida Tlaib: Water issues are as important in Michigan as anywhere--I've spoken out against poor Detroiters having their water turned off and against the greed that caused the Flint catastrophe. The Great Lakes define who we are as Michiganders, and we need to fight invasive species, pollution, and greedy companies like Nestle. We need to fully fund the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, and we need to shut down Line 5.
