DAVID,
We have seen and lived the difference state leadership makes. When Massachusetts had great leaders, we launched a clean energy revolution and led the way on tackling climate change.
But with the Republican Baker administration at the helm, we lost the urgency that fueled our progress. We lost our will to act. And our economy, environment, infrastructure and social safety net are weaker for it.
After a decade in the State House, Ben kept his promise of a self-imposed term limit. He then went on to dedicate himself to addressing climate change and joined a leading renewable energy company in Massachusetts.
Now, Ben is running for Governor of Massachusetts to bring his deep knowledge and experience in renewable energy to our state government.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce our campaign’s Climate Plan today — the first of many policies we’ll be rolling out in the coming weeks.
Exactly what’s in Ben’s Climate Plan?
- Massachusetts will commit to meet 100% of electricity demand with clean energy by 2030.
- Massachusetts will commit to meet all non-electricity demand (heating, cooling and transportation) with clean energy by 2040.
- Massachusetts will make a comprehensive climate justice commitment, requiring that 50% of all climate spending directly benefits designated environmental justice communities and reforms proactively address issues of equity, discrimination, and disproportionate harm.
- Every department within the Massachusetts state government will have in its mission to consider and minimize the impact of their operations on climate change.
- Massachusetts will maximize the transition to a clean energy economy to create new industries, companies and jobs and make the investments needed to keep opportunities local and maximize the economic benefit of all climate-related policies.
Stay tuned for updates and upcoming policy rollouts!
— Team Ben
