Environmental Protections

Protecting Watersheds and Reservoir Communities

Communities surrounding the Quabbin and Wachusett Reservoirs play a critical role in protecting Massachusetts' drinking water supply. Shannon supports increasing investments in local water infrastructure and ensuring watershed communities receive adequate resources to maintain safe and reliable drinking water systems.

Responsible Clean Energy Development

Shannon supports aggressive action to address climate change while ensuring renewable energy projects are developed responsibly. She believes local communities should have a meaningful voice in project approval processes and supports clean energy solutions that minimize environmental disruption and protect sensitive ecosystems.

PFAS Remediation

PFAS contamination has impacted communities across Massachusetts and created significant public health concerns. Shannon supports expanding testing and cleanup efforts, increasing state assistance for affected communities, holding polluters accountable, and reducing unnecessary PFAS use in consumer products.

Protecting Drinking Water Quality

Access to clean drinking water is essential for public health. Shannon supports increased monitoring, stronger environmental protections, improved stormwater management practices, and conservation efforts that help prevent contamination of local water supplies and preserve natural filtration systems.
