One significant step that is long overdue is to reauthorize the Clean Water State Revolving Fund--a goal that has eluded this Congress for almost 30 years.

I urge all of our Members to support this bipartisan effort to address local water quality challenges.

I was pleased to join Chairman DeFazio, Congressman Don Young, and Congressman John Katko in introducing H.R. 1497.

I believe the Federal Government can take a greater role to reduce the cost of water to our American families.

We respectfully request a sit down meeting to discuss these ideas with you.

We believe that Congress has given the Department tools to address the California water crisis.

We are working in Southern California to limit demand for imported water, due to the unpredictability of supply.

Title XVI has been successful in helping construct water recycling infrastructure and is greatly underfunded.

I introduced a bill that increased the authorization to $500 million so we can finally start to adequately fund and complete the approved projects.

there is a piece of legislation that is coming up, H.R. 1108, which I have cosponsored.

I am confident that this bill, if enacted, will provide drought-prone regions like mine with the tools necessary to increase water supply through water recycling and capturing and treating stormwater. I want to thank my constituent water…

Because I rise in support of H.R. 3906, the Innovative Stormwater Infrastructure Act of 2018. This bipartisan bill, as was pointed out, was introduced by our colleague from Washington, Congressman Heck, aimed at addressing one of the…

Just one last word, I think this is a very important bill. We have been dealing with the stormwater issue for at least 7 years in my area, and because it is an unfunded mandate, the cities are crying out for help. I think the two cases set…

My communities, as of now, are very excited about this bill and the celebration of the 100th birthday.

I congratulate Chairwoman Granger and Ranking Member Visclosky for this great bill. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of my bipartisan amendment, which increases the funding for the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program by a mere $6 million…
