District 9 Representatives
Yvette Clarke
Yvette Clarke has been an incumbent since 2007. Her lifetime LCV Score: 95%
Clarke has consistently shown her support for the environment by voting in favor of sustainable legislation. On top of that, she has proposed programs such as the FEMA Climate Change Preparedness Act (H.R. 4823) which would require FEMA to consider the environmental impacts of policies when they implement them. She also supports the Green New Deal as a way to create more well paying jobs and reduce America’s dependence on fossil fuels. Clarke is fully aware of the impacts of climate change and she points out how Hurricane Sandy directly impacted NY District 9. Clarke has the drive necessary to set America in the correct direction.
Adem Bunkeddeko
Adem Bunkeddeko is a strategy and innovation officer.
While Bunkeddeko does support the Green New Deal as a bold move forward to make America more environmentally sustainable, he doesn’t provide many concrete plans in order to make that happen. We would like to see him make some more specific commitments in order to show us that he is the right candidate for the position.
Isiah James
Isiah James is a veteran.
James recognizes how important it is to respond to the climate change crisis quickly. He supports the Green New Deal as a move in the right direction for the United States. We would like to see James make some more specific promises on how he would help in the fight against climate change.
Lutchi Gayot
Lutchi Gayot is a store owner.
Gayot emphasizes the severity of the issue of climate change and how important it is for America to make a change quickly or suffer the consequences. That being said, he doesn’t offer any ideas to make that change happen. In order for Gayot to earn our support, he is going to need to commit to taking action regarding climate change.
