Meet The Climate-Researching Mom The Obamas Are Bringing To The State Of The Union

WASHINGTON — Among the guests of first lady Michelle Obama for Tuesday’s State of the Union address is a Florida-based climate researcher and activist.

Miami native Nicole Hernandez Hammer, described by the White House as a “mother and sea level rise researcher,” will watch as President Barack Obama gives his sixth such address.

“I’m just really excited he’s going to be talking about the topic,” said Hernandez Hammer. “He’s been moving on the issue, and Moms Clean Air Force is happy with the progress being made in the White House and at the EPA. I’m hoping there’s more good news.”
