Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) helped introduce the West Coast Ocean Protection Act to prohibit offshore drilling along the West Coast.

"Our country should be transitioning to low-carbon energy sources, not taking on the risk of disastrous oil spills. It's time to make smart investments that will foster a new economy based on clean and renewable energy," DelBene said. "The beautiful environment that surrounds us is what makes living in the Pacific Northwest so special, and taking care of our natural resources and protecting our environment is critical to preserving the quality of life we cherish."
