Rep. Calvert Votes for California Drought Relief Effort

Statement

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) voted for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Emergency Water Delivery Act, H.R. 3964, in an effort to provide relief to the ongoing water shortage affecting California. The legislation was approved by a vote of 229 to 191.

"California faces a significant threat to its already fragile economy if we fail to take action to confront our water shortage," said Rep. Calvert. "Congress can't pass a bill to make it rain, but we can pass a bill to put an end to the water shortages that have been caused by misguided regulatory decisions. California families and farmers are tired of seeing millions and millions of gallons of water being flushed out to the Pacific Ocean while our state suffers the economic ramifications."
