Issue Position: LAX

Issue Position

LAX is one of the busiest airports in the nation, helping move passengers and goods across the country and around the world. This creates great economic benefits to the 35th District, but many families, businesses and schools in neighboring communities can be adversely impacted by noise, pollution, traffic and other problems associated with LAX.

I have worked closely with neighborhood groups concerned about conditions at LAX including proposals to expand the airport and move runways. I have also written legislation to provide funding for noise mitigation for those who live and work in the 35th District and are affected by noise from planes landing and taking off at LAX.

In addition, I have worked with airport officials to help ensure that LAX is safe for passengers, workers, visitors and nearby residents.
