Issue Position: Fighting to Protect Our Environment

Issue Position

One of the greatest crises facing this district and Southern California is the dying Salton Sea. It poses a significant threat to the families in our region and I have been working with local, regional, and federal stakeholders since my first day in Congress to secure funding and address this issue head-on. We must work collectively to protect our drinking water and air supply. I am also working hard to shine a light on environmental justice. That's why I introduced a landmark piece of legislation called the Environmental Justice Act of 2017 along with my friend Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey. We must do better at addressing these pressing issues and making progress to address climate change.
