Central Valley farmers like Donald Trump on water. On California’s Kamala Harris, less so
Central Valley farmers feel former President Donald Trump more aligns with their water needs than Vice President Kamala Harris, a former U.S. senator and attorney general for California. … Still, Rep. Jim Costa, D-Fresno, said Harris was supportive of his efforts with Feinstein on water issues. He said, “she worked to diversify our water supply, improve aging infrastructure, and supply clean drinking water in underserved communities like those in the San Joaquin Valley.” Costa and others praised Harris’ infrastructure efforts as vice president to bolster aging agricultural systems. “When we look at the bigger picture, Vice President Harris has been a strong supporter of infrastructure investments for agriculture,” said Mike Wade, the executive director at California Farm Water Coalition.
