For Virginia's future, continue participation in RGGI
 

As a Virginian who cares about our future, I oppose Governor Youngkin's proposed regulation to withdraw Virginia from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).  Since joining, RGGI, Virginia's power plant emissions have consistently decreased.  Decreased air pollution means fewer asthma attacks and missed days of school and work.

RGGI improves our public health, and it also invests in our communities for the future -- and I strongly support our continued participation in RGGI.
