Glad to work together to make our waterways Safe for Swimming, @RepDaveJoyce! Americans can check for problems at their favorite beaches here:

America's beaches are some of our favorite places to relax ... when the water is safe. Where is water pollution harming our ability to enjoy the beach? And what can we do to stop it?
This morning, I hosted a press conference with @EnvAm to talk about the importance of Congress passing the BEACH Act. Federal action must be taken to clean up the contamination at beaches on the Great Lakes and across the country. This bill will help do just that.

The House @WaysandMeansGOP @WaysMeansCmte is debating a proposal to cut clean energy tax credits- meaning less choice and dirtier air for Americans. My statement:

Tax bill would terminate solar, energy efficiency, some EV credits this year, phase out wind, solar incentives this decade

We're working to make sure the water at our beaches is clean. That means ending the sewage and runoff pollution that can make swimmers sick.

It's not currently legal or safe to swim in Rock Creek - but it should be! Congress and @EPA should make our waterways safe for swimming. #RFK.

Florida's beaches, bottlenose dolphins and manatees are too important to risk for more oil, but we've seen repeatedly that when we drill, we spill. Thanks @USRepKCastor @VernBuchanan @RepDarrenSoto @RepGusBilirakis for your Florida Coastal Protection Act.
