The Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force operates under the principles of free-market environmentalism, that is to promote the mutually beneficial link between a robust economy and a healthy environment, to unleash the creative powers of the free market for environmental stewardship, and to enhance the quality and use of our natural and agricultural resources for the benefit of human health and well-being.The Task Force works to develop model policy in a wide variety of issue areas, including energy, public lands, chemical regulation, agricultural technology, regulatory reform, air and water quality, federal-state relations, environmental health, waste management, rural development, and property rights.In October of 2012, I joined the Task Force as a Legislative Analyst. In February of 2014, I became the Director of the Task Force and managed the day-to-day operations of the Task Force and worked with state legislators and the private sector to develop pro-growth, free-market energy, environment, and agriculture policies in the states.
