The climate crisis demands urgent, local action. Through his work on regional transit and infrastructure, Ryan has seen how environmental decisions ripple across communities and how the most vulnerable often bear the greatest burden. He believes in bold investments in clean energy, salmon recovery, green infrastructure, and sustainable transportation, all designed with environmental justice at the core. Our climate solutions must prioritize the frontline communities most impacted by pollution, displacement, and climate risk, ensuring they are first in line for investment, resilience, and opportunity.
