All we are asking is to make sure that houses are repaired in a timely manner, and repaired in a way that this isn't coming up time after time after time.

I want to know if there is something that we need to do through Congress and legal changes...

My office has an ongoing case with an enlisted family at NAS Lemoore who lives in base housing managed by Liberty Military Housing.

This administration appears interested in alleviating the issue, but it has taken too long to get to this point.

Low income and disadvantaged communities like many in my district are suffering from consequences of the recall that started three months ago or closer to four months ago.

I think, again, the name of the game is how we continue to move containerized cargo here in terms of the throughput.

If these interest groups were truly concerned with the river system, they would look at the science.

The Central Valley desperately needs water, and this no-cost, clean extension of the operations and storage provisions in the WIIN Act is an important step to ensure a reliable water supply for our communities.

I urge the Committee to support robust investments in our nation's ports, harbors, and inland waterways, which are vital to the health and economic well-being of communities, including in Tampa Bay.

Improving projects, processes, and access to water is crucial, especially in districts like mine.

To protect my community from coastal hazards, I urge the Committee to ensure coastal Storm Risk Management measures are used to protect critical infrastructure at the Port Tampa Bay and in McKay Bay.
