Location: Washington, DC

Today, Representative Josh Harder (CA-10) pushed expert witnesses on what the government is doing to research and develop programs related to childhood asthma and asthma broadly. He pointed to the fact that many cities in the Central Valley are classified as some of the most polluted in the country, that one out of every six children have asthma in the Valley, and the negative impact wildfires pose on the quality of air across the region as to why this issue is so important. Rep. Harder himself suffered from childhood asthma growing up in Turlock.
