Protecting the Chesapeake Bay & Leading on Climate Change

Sarah earned the endorsement of the League of Conservation Voters, and Maryland Matters described Sarah as “one of the leading environmentalists in the legislature.” In the Maryland Senate, she passed laws to increase the oyster population, invest in clean energy jobs, protect our communities from flooding and rising sea levels, and encourage private sector investment in restoring the Bay. On Capitol Hill, she will fight for climate justice, to speed our transition to clean energy, to help communities become more resilient to climate change, and to protect the Bay and its watershed. Sarah understands that protecting the Bay isn’t just the right thing to do for our environment. It’s the right thing to do for our economy and the thousands of Marylanders who earn their living on the Chesapeake Bay." (elfrethformaryland.com)​
