She also spoke at a CNN town hall event in Iowa this week, increasing her name recognition among early primary voters in the state. During the event she backed the Green New Deal, a jobs and infrastructure proposal aimed at transitioning America’s energy grid toward renewable sources.
“I support a Green New Deal,” she said while knocking politicians who take campaign contributions from non-renewable energy companies. “I think that the fact that we have policymakers who are in the pockets of big oil and big coal don’t fully appreciate the fact that we are looking at something that is presenting an existential threat to our country.”
