Andrea Seastrand: “I have the distinct privilege to support House Joint Resolution 50 concerning the Robert J. Lagomarsino Visitors Center…”

“I have the distinct privilege to support House Joint Resolution 50 concerning the Robert J. Lagomarsino Visitors Center while my district is the home of several dedicated public servants, including former President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, I also have the honor of representing much of the same area of another distinguished public servant, former Congressman Robert J. Lagomarsino. Bob Lagomarsino served the central coast, the State of California, and our Nation with distinction. In Washington, Bob fought for serious congressional reforms. As a student of foreign affairs, he knew the importance of America's place on the world stage. However, he also understood the importance of the district he represented and its valuable resources. As a result, he successfully urged support for the Channel Islands National Park in Ventura County, CA. To understand the importance of this effort, one has to appreciate the central coast of California and our history. It was just a quarter century ago, when the pristine, uncontaminated shores of Santa Barbara were spoiled with an oil slick, caused by an underwater oil well in the ocean, that covered our beaches and polluted our waters.”
