Any attempts to undermine key provisions of ESA would only deny our future generations the opportunity to fully explore the gifts of nature.

ESA played a critical role in the survival of key wildlife populations in my district in California and throughout the Nation.

Threatened wildlife populations are an invaluable and precious part of our global ecosystems, and we have a responsibility to ensure their survival through ESA.

The Endangered Species Act, or ESA, is one of our Nation's most essential and effective conservation laws.

The changing climate is already negatively impacting our economy, our environment and human health.

I believe we need to stop debating this reality and start working on solutions.

While the local companies technically voluntarily install the more advanced systems, it is clear that the law, both state and federal, have played an important role.

There has also been some confusion regarding the definition of the term automatic.

The Plains All American Pipeline is not equipped with an automatic shut-off system.

The information we have so far is very troubling.

When will this investigation be completed and the results shared with the public?

I hope that we continue to actively support and ensure the continuation of something I have known, as a school nurse, as an incredibly successful program.
