Sarah Elfreth Democrat
“I want the House to pass this bill. It keeps funding the work to clean up and protect the Chesapeake Bay, which is a model for the rest of the world. We still have a lot of work left to do.”
“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to close. I could go on and on, but I know we have one last bill. Representative Scott got it right: It has been slow and steady progress since 1983, before I was even born, to make sure that we not just protect and preserve for future generations, but take strides to be a model as we have been in the Chesapeake Bay region for other watersheds, not just in the United States but across the world. Mr. Speaker, there is so much more work to do. This bill reauthorizes that work. Again, I thank my bipartisan colleagues for prioritizing not just this bill but this program within the budget itself. I yield back the balance of my time.”
