Political Quotes

“Last year I met with a fourth grade constituent named Lily McSheffery. Lily was concerned about the impact of oil and gas drilling on sources of drinking water, and she was determined to do something about it. She urged me to introduce a law that would protect consumers from contamination associated with drilling operations. Today, I will introduce the Safe Hydration is an American Right in Energy Development, or SHARED, Act. The bill would require testing of water sources near hydraulic fracturing operations and the public disclosure of the results of that testing. The SHARED Act would improve the lives of people all over this country, making sure Lily and future generations of kids have access to safe, clean water. I am inspired by Lily's dedication to this issue, and I urge my colleagues to join as cosponsors of the SHARED Act. ____________________”
