2020 NM Senatorial race: on Environment


Mark Ronchetti: Oppose environmental extremism; it crushes middle class

I oppose the Green New Deal and environmentalist extremism. While the atmosphere is warming and there are steps we can take to protect our environment, we can't restrict our economy when countries like China and India continue unrestricted pollution. The financial burden would crush our middle and lower class. The purpose of the GND isn't about the environment, it is a complete restructuring of the economy with free college, guaranteed income and universal healthcare.

Mark Ronchetti: The Green New Deal is about socialism

I strongly oppose the GND--it's not serious legislation. With $93-trillion price-tag, it will crush our economy. The purpose of the GND isn't about the environment, it's a complete restructuring of our economy that guarantees income for those who choose not to work.
