“Linda Sanchez understands the importance of a clean, healthy and sustainable environment,” said Betsy Loyless, LCV political director. “The people of California can count on Linda Sanchez to be a member of Congress who will fight to keep their air clean, their water safe, and their open spaces protected.”

If elected to Congress, Californians can depend on Linda Sanchez to work for commonsense environmental measures that will protect their health and quality of life. Through her actions as a community leader Sanchez has been involved in helping a California community get an abandoned car battery dump placed on California’s list of toxic cleanup sites. She has also worked to address environmental justice issues in California; using her bilingual capabilities to translate warnings about toxic sites for Spanish-speaking community members and teaching residents how to participate in the public hearing process.

Linda Sanchez supports increased CAFE standards, emission reductions from power plants, increased use and funding of renewable energy, protecting forest roadless areas, and reinstating federal Superfund taxes to clean up toxic waste sites.
