Tom Carper: “We need to do more for communities that depend on Federal investment for essential flood and storm protection.”

We help make the rules for the country, and we do not do this by ourselves.

People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

We are better off when we hear community concerns at the beginning of the process rather than at the end.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.
