Lizzie Fletcher: “I talked about the importance of reliable emergency communications for all of the diverse communities in my district.”

I am proud of and excited about the work that we have done together and the things that we have accomplished in the previous Water Resources Development Acts.

Thank you very much, and thanks to Chairman Latta and Ranking Member Matsui for convening today's hearing.

I urge the Corps to continue its focus and complete this study so it can move forward with a project that aligns with community objectives.

It is crucial that we utilize the full expertise and resources of the Corps to complete this study before our next Water Resources Development Act in 2026.
