Mary Wagner is the Nevada Field Organizer for Moms Clean Air Force and EcoMadres and a devoted mother of two boys. Her advocacy began with a desire to speak up about issues affecting her family and community. Through that work, she learned more about the connections between climate change, air pollution, and health—including the impact of unhealthy air on her older son, who has asthma.
Mary works across Nevada to engage and mobilize communities around clean air, public health, and energy issues. Her work focuses on holding utilities accountable, advancing energy affordability, and ensuring families have a voice in decisions that affect their health, household costs, and communities.
Mary’s work with Moms has appeared in the Associated Press, News 3 Las Vegas, The Nevada Independent, Hispanic Ad, Courier, Noticias Telemundo, Inside Climate News, 8 News Now, The Nevadan, Yahoo News, Impacto Media, El Pregonero, Nevada Public Radio, Fox 5 Las Vegas, and AOL.
When not advocating for clean air, she enjoys the beach, quick getaways with her family, and spending time with her girlfriends.
