Castro on climate change

In response to a climate change question, he spoke in broad terms about the Green New Deal and clean energy investments but also got granular, mentioning a billion-dollar National Disaster Resilience competition that he’d overseen.

Disaster resilience is obviously not anyone’s top voting issue in 2020, but there was something extremely refreshing about seeing a politician talk about specific things he’s actually done and display fluency with the way the government actually works.
