YCCD Advocates on NBC News

YCCD advocates were featured in a national NBC news story this week about Congressman John Curtis (R-UT) and the recently launched Conservative Climate Caucus. The piece was filmed on the ground in Utah.

Mackey Smith, head of the Utah Young Republicans, said, "For millennials and GenZ, climate change is not really a partisan issue. It's pretty straightforward that we want to take care of the environment." He also stressed the importance of advocating for real solutions, as opposed to just rhetoric.

Hunter Thomas, former President of the BYU College Republicans said, "I think the best way we can come together [across] the political spectrum to address climate change is carbon pricing; it's putting a price on carbon and returning 100% of that in the form of a monthly check, a dividend."
