I'd like to highlight several WRDA priorities for my district in Southwest Washington, including one that has been in the works since 1986.
This 1.6-acre lot may seem very small to the committee... but where I live, this is the kind of thing that can make an incredible difference.
When flooding occurs on the Grays River, it cuts off access to approximately 500 people living in these rural communities, often for two days or more at a time.
