Issue Position: Environment - Flooding

Issue Position

Hurricane Sandy demonstrated for us just how devastating the damage from flooding can be to our communities.

In Washington, the Republican-controlled House has made cutting the Army Corps of Engineers budget a priority. A major function of the Corps is flood control. When you only think about of the cost of programs and not their value, people in desperate need of help are left to fend for themselves. We are Americans together, even when it costs money to help.

I will continue fighting to implement and preserve flood control projects which are vital to our homes and our businesses throughout the region.
