Juan Carlos González
Metro Council President
4 statements
“Environment Clean Air, Clean Water, Good Jobs I’ve already delivered major investments to protect clean air and water by leading our region’s historic $475 million Parks and Nature Bond towards successful implementation. But environmental justice means making sure that every neighborhood has access to clean air, green space, and parks. Not just the wealthy ones. As Metro Council President, I’ll tackle climate change with the urgency this crisis demands. This means expanding our regional parks, creating green jobs that pay family wages, and making sure that environmental improvements don’t push out the families they’re supposed to help. We’ll build what our region needs to deal with climate change. More trees in neighborhoods that need them. Clean energy that brings down costs for working families. Protecting our environment isn’t just about preservation. It’s about making sure everyone can afford to stay.”
