In my state, I created a Clean Energy Fund and invested in electrifying our transportation system - from vehicles and buses to transit and even ferries.
My worst ever car was a green Datsun B210, back when they called it 'Datsun' - now it's 'Nissan.' Very unsexy, unattractive. Girls hated the car. I was embarrassed to even be in it... but it was my transportation.
I began to get calls from constituents, 'Do you think you can ever get on transportation?' So when there was a vacancy created, I worked very hard to get there.
Transportation funding is a win-win for everyone involved.
