Republican National Convention Remarks on Conservation

What was the momentum for conservation issues at the 2024 Republican National Convention?

Chris Barnard of the American Conservation Coalition speaks with Frank Maisano, senior director of Bracewell’s Policy Resolution Group, on the floor of the RNC convention.

Translation:

Well, it means conservatives are at the table. It means we’re willing to show leadership again on environmental and climate issues. It means we’re willing to stand up for reliable, affordable, clean, American-made energy, and that’s how we solve our energy and environmental problems. That’s how we compete with China. That’s how we make America rich. So, I’m just incredibly excited to be here in Milwaukee and to be at the convention. I’m also on the RNC Youth Advisory Council, and I know that this is something that young people care about. And so we need to have a message that’s optimistic, that’s forward-looking, that’s aspirational, and I think that’s what we’re doing.
