The Environment

Mission: We are privileged to live in one of the most beautiful places in the country and we have a responsibility to keep our water, air, and land safe and clean. We must also protect our district and country from the effects of climate change. I strongly oppose fracking; fracking would destroy our beautiful district and poison our lands. I support the current NY State moratorium on hydraulic-fracturing and federal funding for climate change research, as well as policy based on the scientific method.

  • There are great opportunities for scientific innovation, discovery, and research for renewable energies and Southern Tier New York should be at the forefront.
  • We must keep the Environmental Protection Agency fully staffed and funded, an issue that historically has had bipartisan support.
  • We must rejoin the Paris Accords.
  • Tracy has signed the pledge not to accept campaign donations from fossil fuel PACs for this campaign in protest of the failure of the fossil fuel industry to take appropriate steps to protect the environment.
