Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Vista), a member of the House Climate Solutions Caucus, released the following statement in response to the Department of the Interior's oil drilling plan:
"It's not the time to reopen California's shoreline to new drilling. Secretary Zinke has said that the "states and local communities' will have a voice, but Californians have made themselves clear: they do not want new drilling off our coasts. I will work to ensure that voice is heard and that California's coastal areas are taken out of consideration."
