Kamala Harris Climate Plan Is Statesmanlike and Strong On Everything Except Military
Appropriately aggressive targets, clearly stated tactics and lots of call outs to the work of others
As part of ongoing #Election2020 coverage, we are assessing the top candidates’ climate plans, and the interesting ones. Now it’s time for Kamala Harris. [Note: when this assessment was originally published, Harris was among the top 4. While out of the running now, her plan remains the best assessed to date, and has significant differentiation worth identifying and appreciating.]
Harris’ plan is aggressive & well-balanced, with clear dates, targets, & action items, and is aimed at building a coalition of allies
I can’t stress strongly enough that Harris’ plan is the most inclusive of other politicians and the least arrogant about being about her. The Harris plan references other politicians’ draft Acts, including her opponents’, far more than any other candidates, showing a view forward to coalition building that’s assumed but unstated by others. This is a statesmanlike effort that in a perfect world would be rewarded.
