Rep. Becca Balint, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Vermont’s at-large district, has been vocal on social media about various issues including climate change and corporate responsibility. Her recent tweets reflect her stance on these matters as well as her personal engagements.
On December 6, 2024, Rep. Balint addressed the ongoing climate crisis in Vermont and across the United States. She stated, "In Vermont, there is no denying the climate crisis. We experience it every year. It's our new normal. But climate change is damaging every state, and it's the result of pollution. The country’s biggest polluters — corporations — must pay for their devastation. It's common sense." This tweet highlights her call for accountability from major polluting corporations.
Later that day, she shared a more personal update expressing joy over meeting a friend at an official residence by tweeting, "Happy to see my friend @KnowaWasTaken at the @VP's house! https://t.co/NQLl3ik8wQ".
On December 8, 2024, Rep. Balint reiterated her concerns regarding environmental issues by stating succinctly on Twitter: "More natural disasters. More lives and businesses lost. Corporate polluters must pay."
