"Vice President Kamala Harris’ longtime climate adviser is a 37-year-old Colorado native who has a Ph.D. in marine science, a penchant for electric buses and a miniature poodle named Newton who’s a member of the KHive.
Ike Irby, a consultant and senior campaign adviser to Harris, started on her Senate staff as a fellow back in 2017. He moved to the White House with Harris in January 2021 as a top climate adviser. Irby left his White House gig early this year, but he remains an influential player in Harris’ orbit and could become an even more prominent voice shaping climate policy if the vice president wins her White House bid in 2024.
“Ike is widely known and quite respected,” said Tiernan Sittenfeld, senior vice president for government affairs at the League of Conservation Voters. “We think he’s been very influential and we’re looking forward to him working with Vice President Harris when she becomes president to make lots more progress for climate, jobs and justice.”"
