After Rep. Judy Chu (D-Monterey Park) was seen as the first person to stand when President Barack Obama mentioned green energy in his State of the Union address Tuesday, Chu reflected on why she supported green energy and how it could help California.
"We are a state that could certainly benefit from the investment in clean energy," Chu told C-SPAN, adding that California could use more emphasis on being a cutting edge state.
Chu also reflected on seeing Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Arizona), who officially resigned from Congress Wednesday to focus on her recovery after being shot in the head at a public event last January.
See the rest of Chu's comments in the attached video.
In August, Chu announced she will run for Congress in 2012 in the newly formed 27th Congressional District, which includes South Pasadena, San Marino, Altadena, Rosemead, Monterey Park, San Gabriel and Glendora.
