Hello fellow Marylanders! I just wanted to share some great news that I was recently able to get the Keep Our Water Clean Act passed through the domestic committee, which will bring additional funding to the Chesapeake Bay for one year in order to help improve the quality of water found in the Bay as well as in surrounding rivers.
This Bill was not easy to get through committee, but with some helpful support from Congresswoman Slaughter and some excellent bipartisan negotiations, this Bill was passed through committee with overwhelming support. Previous bills helping to improve the water of the Chesapeake Bay area have passed through Congress with nearly-zero opposition, so I am hoping that this Bill will be on the agenda in our upcoming floor session, as determined by Speaker McCarthy, and will be passed with minimal opposition.
This Bill is not just great for our district, but this Bill will serve as a test run in order to be implemented all throughout the United States. My hope is that just as my fellow Democrats and Republicans can see the great value of this bill in America in order to help preserve the environment and provide additional jobs and cleaner sources of water to the great people of Maryland and eventually, all of the wonderful people of the United States of America.
Thank you so much for your support in re-electing me into office and I look forward to continually serving your requests in Washington.
Warmly,
Steny Hoyer
