Episode 6: Climate Change and Congress

As the 117th Congress begins to pass legislation, Nadya, Domenica, and Emily check in with Congressman Mike Quigley. They discuss the legislative process, environmental policy, and Chicago’s role in solving our climate crisis. Congressman Quigley represents Illinois’ 5th District, which includes much of Chicago’s north side. He’s held his seat in Congress since Rahm Emmanuel vacated the seat to join President Obama in the White House. Quigley is a graduate of The University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy.
