Key quote: “The most important issue is the devastation of our water. This impacts everyone: businesses forced to close, people getting sick, animals killed and our environment destroyed. Health and safety needs to be made a top priority to prevent these discharges. Working together, we’ve secured a commitment to authorize the Southern Storage Reservoir, full funding to expedite completion of the Herbert Hoover Dike, and hundreds of millions of dollars to combat toxic algal blooms, prevent harmful agricultural runoff and restore the Everglades. Our campaign is not about one individual, but about defending our community by putting people first.”
