Climate change is one of the most urgent issues facing our future. We must be responsible stewards of the Earth while safeguarding it for generations to come. Too often, poor and working-class communities of color bear the heaviest burdens of pollution—air, water, and land contamination—which have led to disproportionate health impacts, including higher rates of respiratory illnesses.

That’s why Lilian will:

• Direct district resources to transition away from fossil fuels, building the infrastructure we need to adapt to climate change today

• Lead solutions to heat island effects and urban flooding, reducing energy costs, preventing heat-related illness, and funding protections against basement backups, seepage, and backyard flooding

• Support legislation like the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act and the Environmental Justice Act, ensuring cleaner air, economic equity, and justice for communities of color, those facing transitions from fossil fuels, and other historically disadvantaged neighborhoods

Lilian is committed to creating a cleaner, safer, and more equitable environment—so every resident can breathe easier and thrive.
