While
campaigning in 2016, then-candidate Trump promised that the Central Valley’s
water supply would no longer be held captive by radical environmentalists. This
week, both President Trump and Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt
visited the Valley to make official the Trump administration’s plans to return
water to the Valley.
On
Wednesday, President Trump signed a second presidential memorandum to formally
adopt policies that will deliver more water to the Valley. In addition to
implementing new biological opinions that govern how much water flows through
the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, President Trump directed the Secretaries of
the Interior and Commerce to develop more water storage infrastructure so that
Valley farmers, families, and communities can have a more bountiful and
reliable water supply. Since before my election to Congress, I have fought to
reclaim the water that California’s radical environmentalists have flushed out
to the Pacific Ocean. With this week’s actions, President Trump has turned the
tide in California’s decades-long water wars.
Along
with other Republican congressmen, I joined President Trump for the signing
ceremony. To watch video of the signing, click on the image below.
