Politico recently reported that billionaire environmentalist, Tom Steyer, has decided to help fund and support the democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe.
The debate on climate has been a heated and controversial issue between the two candidates and Steyer’s involvement could add more fuel to the fire.
The article states, “Steyer’s involvement in the Virginia race is likely to raise the already-significant stakes in the debate over energy and the environment, elevating a set of issues that reflect the left-right cultural gap between McAuliffe and Cuccinelli.”
