Virginia's coastal communties and families of low income households have been feeling the burden of sea level rise and climate change for decades. The excessive omission of carbon dioxide and green house gases have now become a national threat to our military bases and roadway infrastructure. Flooding and extreme storms surges continue to have detrimental impacts to the Hampton Roads region, rated second only to New Orleans as the most vulnerable area impacted by rising seas. President Trump has already promised to rollback on numerous environmental protections through his proposed budget for FY18 and an executive order. We ask that our state continues to defend Virginia values in protecting our public health and natural resources. The next four years will present many unknown challenges pertinent to citizens in the Commonwealth and we depend on Governor McAuliffe to reduce our carbon emissions by 30% by the year 2030.
