Environment & Climate Change

It’s a fact: the climate is changing and we need to act. That’s why Ruben has made environmental issues a top priority. In Congress, Ruben voted in favor of the Inflation Reduction Act: by far the largest climate investment in the history of the United States. The IRA invests in cheaper, more sustainable energy, and will bring thousands of jobs to our state.

Ruben is also a leader in preserving Arizona’s public lands. He has fought time and again to protect areas like the Grand Canyon from industry exploitation. Ruben wants every community to be able to enjoy Arizona’s natural resources and natural beauty, whether through championing partnerships with Tribal governments or working to commemorate César Chávez with a National Historic Park in Phoenix. With the passage of his Veterans in Parks Act, Ruben led a bipartisan push to expand access to national parks for our veterans and Gold Star families, giving them lifelong free access to enjoy our beautiful parks across the nation.

Our state’s magic lies in its magnificent natural beauty—from the depths of the Grand Canyon to the tip of Humphreys Peak. We need to protect our public lands and our environment for generations to come.
