I promised them that I would vote for whoever I thought had the best climate policy. I reasoned that if our stances on the climate were similar, our stances on other issues would be as well. (I still have my Inslee T-Shirt.)

After Inslee, I liked Harris’ climate record…

Here’s a bit of a January, 2019 article from PBS:

What does Kamala Harris believe? Where the candidate stands on 9 issues

Climate change: Supports Paris climate accord. Believes action is needed to combat climate change.

As California’s attorney general, Harris launched an investigation into Exxon Mobil in 2016, after reports that the oil and gas giant lied for decades about the risks of climate change. Harris criticized President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord. Additionally, Harris opposed the Trump administration’s proposal to reverse Obama-era fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks. Harris voted against repealing regulations on methane emissions, and has a 100 percent lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters, which tracks lawmakers’ voting records on energy and environmental issues.
