Leela Gray On Climate & Energy: Where the Candidates Stand

Leela Gray, the Democratic candidate for Florida's Congressional District 13, hasn't laid out detailed positions on renewable energy, energy efficiency, electric vehicles, or climate policy in her public materials. For homeowners tracking candidates on these issues specifically, there isn't much on record yet.

On affordability, Gray has pointed to rising insurance costs and utility bills that "never seem to go down" as concerns she hears from voters in the district, framing the issue around whether families can afford to stay in their homes. She has also called for a permanent ban on offshore drilling to protect Tampa Bay's coastline, beaches, and waterways, tying this to the region's economic security.

This profile is part of a series comparing candidates in the district; her Republican opponent, Anna Paulina Luna, is covered separately. Election Day in Florida is November 3.
