According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and many other reputable climate scientists, 2023 was the world’s warmest year on record by far, and 2024 is projected to be even hotter yet.
It is undeniable that climate change is the issue of our times. In 2024, we must elect leaders to the California legislature to reduce emissions and limit overall temperature increases. Despite Democratic supermajorities in both the assembly and senate, the California legislature has struggled to pass many important climate bills.
Nick Schultz is a climate champion. He currently serves as mayor of Burbank and has been a member of its City Council since 2020. He has spent his entire professional career in public service.
On a local level, Schultz has been a champion of clean energy, energy efficiency, electrification and ensuring that the city of Burbank is on track to comply with its goal of achieving the state’s 2030 emission reduction goals. He has signed the No Fossil Fuel Pledge.
Please help us elect Nick Schultz, a climate champion, to the California Assembly.
