Bob Stefanowski:
Make sure that environmental regulations make sense
Our state parks are a great tourism asset and give visitors a reason to visit Connecticut. Long Island Sound creates billions of dollars in Connecticut and we need to do a better job protecting this valuable resource. We can
balance environmental sustainability and economic growth by working together with private partners and making sure that environmental regulations exist that make sense and not just a few extra cents.

Chris Jones:
Protect residential communities from hazardous industry
Whether it's irrigating fields, maintaining flooded timber for duck season, or ensuring we have clean drinking water in our towns and cities, we need to make the best of the historic investments coming in from the bipartisan federal infrastructure bill.
No residential community should be made to suffer unintended or hidden impacts of potentially hazardous industry in their backyards. Economic development and developing our communities should always go hand in hand.

Christopher Kurka:
Shouldn't tolerate Federal oversight of our resources
Alaska is a great state with abundant natural resources and, perhaps more importantly, a fiercely independent people.
We do not need, nor should we tolerate, the out-of-control powers that be in D.C. telling us how to live or develop our resources.
