Climate change isn't a distant worry but an urgent reality affecting communities worldwide, including our very own home, District 34. As we confront the economic and humanitarian impacts of this global crisis, we're fortunate to have leaders like Brandi Mandato, who are steadfast in their commitment to meaningful change.
Understanding the Impact:
Here in District 34, the effects of climate change touch every corner of our lives. Coastal towns like East Haven face the imminent threat of sea-level rise and extreme weather events, putting homes, businesses, and livelihoods in jeopardy. Moreover, rising temperatures exacerbate health issues, particularly for vulnerable populations and demand leadership find and fund solutions to outdated infrastructure, like the lack of air conditioning in many of our schools. Our children in Wallingford, North Haven, Durham, North Branford, and East Haven deserve to inherit a world rich in opportunity, not marred by environmental challenges.

Preserving Natural Resources: Brandi is committed to preserving and restoring Connecticut's natural habitats, including coastal marshes, forests, and farmlands. Protecting these ecosystems not only mitigates climate change but also provides essential benefits such as flood protection, clean air, and recreational opportunities.
Supporting Climate Resilience: Building climate resilience is paramount to safeguarding our communities. Brandi will advocate for infrastructure upgrades, disaster preparedness, and community-based solutions that bolster resilience and protect vulnerable populations.
Building the Workforce of the Future: Brandi has experience partnering with employers, training providers, unions, and workers to equip our workforce with the skills needed to thrive in a world amidst climate change. By investing in education and training programs, we can prepare our institutions and workers for an evolving landscape.
