I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: the fight for clean water is one that we wage 24-7, 365 days per year.
We had another productive week on Capitol Hill— we made progress on the fight to slash wasteful spending, introduced legislation to protect our waterways, to speaking with the Acting ADM of the U.S. Coast Guard about maritime safety.
We’ve seen kids get sick. We’ve seen dogs die. And we’ve seen our community pay the price while toxins and hazardous chemicals penetrate our waterways. Our fight for clean water is not over, but I am proud of the three bills I reintroduced earlier today to preserve the health, safety, and future of our communities.

And it’s why we’re working overtime to fix it.
Thankfully, under President Trump’s leadership, there’s been a government-wide push for oversight and efficiency, and as a result, we’ve finally terminated unnecessary experiments on animals in places like the Department of Defense.
