Congratulations to Congresswoman-elect Bonnie Watson Coleman on her election (“Watson Coleman earns historic win,” Nov. 5). She will be a champion on environmental issues and a leader in calling for action on climate change.

In the New Jersey General Assembly, Watson Coleman worked tirelessly to protect New Jersey’s environment and make the state a leader in energy efficiency. She helped to safeguard the state’s environment by securing funding for the Green Acres and Blue Acres Floodplain Acquisition programs. Her leadership and experience will be a welcome addition to Congress.
