Grace Meng

Congresswoman Grace Meng is running for re-election in New York’s 6th congressional district. Meng has always been devoted to environmental protection. She believes that combating climate change is essential and that the burden of climate change has disproportionately affected low-income communities and communities of color. In her legislative efforts, she centers on environmental justice. Meng is a supporter of a 10-year mobilization effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, establish high-wage union jobs, invest in climate-resilient and sustainable infrastructure, and protect justice and equality. She is focused on protecting children, calling for NYC to address the issue of lead in school drinking water and introducing legislation to protect vulnerable mothers and children from climate change risks. Throughout her time in Congress, Meng has proven herself to be a committed environmentalist, earning a 98% LCV lifetime score. If re-elected, she will continue to make environmental justice a top priority.
