BISMARCK – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement on the Democratic party’s unity task force - created by Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders and co-chaired by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - unveiling its climate plan:

“The Democratic party’s unity task force is sending a not-so-subtle message that Joe Biden will let far-left environmental extremists control U.S. energy policy if he becomes president. The plan they unveiled is a sloppy regurgitation of the Green New Deal, filled with similarly unattainable goals, dangerous policies, and a dependence on unreliable sources of energy. Implementing these proposals would hurt the pocketbooks of hardworking American families and make America less safe.”
