Election 2024:

Where Candidates for Congress Stand

Connecticut

3RD DISTRICT

​

Michael Massey

Republican

U.S. House, Connecticut 3

 

1.         WHAT ARE THE BEST WAYS THAT CONGRESS CAN HELP TO REDUCE THE ENERGY AND WATER CONSUMPTION OF BUILDINGS TO HELP MAKE THEM MORE SUSTAINABLE?

​

Nuclear power is key. Of course solar but before that we need to drill.

 

 

2. WHICH SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICIES DO YOU SUPPORT AND WOULD WORK TO ENACT IF ELECTED?

​

h. Conduct research into the most promising technologies, products and materials that improve occupant health and reduce transmission of contagious disease while saving energy

 

 

3.         IF ELECTED, WHAT STEPS WILL YOU TAKE TO ENSURE THAT ALL AMERICANS, REGARDLESS OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, ARE ABLE TO BENEFIT FROM HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS?

 

Every home, business facility should be fitted with solar panels. Be that by offering tax incentives or subsidies. Taking the health planet seriously should everyone’s responsibility.

 

 

4.         IF ELECTED, WHAT STEPS WILL YOU TAKE TO TRAIN AND PREPARE PEOPLE FOR CLEAN ENERGY JOBS THAT ADVANCE SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS AND BUILDING COMPONENTS?

​

By investing in nuclear we will create an industry that is capable of changing the world. Nuclear is the perfect solution to the growing clean energy demands the world is seeking. Our current policy is developing nuclear bombs but frowning at nuclear energy that can solve our pollution problems. We can do it safe if we put in the effort.

 

 

5.         ARE YOU WILLING TO WORK WITH THE BUILDING SECTOR TO MAKE SURE THAT TRANSFORMING BUILDINGS IS PART OF THE POLICY DEBATE IN CONGRESS, INCLUDING JOINING CAUCUSES THAT ADVOCATE FOR SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICIES? IF YES, HOW WILL YOU DO THAT?

 

Of course America needs to focus on rebuilding America instead of sending so much money overseas. We have the type of economy that we can afford to totally set the benchmark on energy efficient sustainable development.

 

 

6.         DO YOU HAVE ANY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES RELATED TO SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS (E.G., SUPPORTING LEGISLATION IN ELECTED OFFICE, MADE ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS TO A HOME, OFFICE, COMMUNITY-WIDE, ETC.)?

 

I am very new to politics and I have no preconceived bias of any kind when it come to advocating for energy efficiency. Of course having young children I will be open to best suggestions and ideas.
