The internal fight over California’s global leadership
California just got another boost to its positioning as a primary antagonist to the incoming Trump administration on the environment: The North Coast’s Rep. Jared Huffman today formally clinched the Democrats’ top spot on the House Natural Resources Committee. Huffman will lead House Democrats’ efforts to stymie Trump’s agenda to drill more on public lands and boost federal water deliveries by rolling back endangered species protections. A progressive climate and environment hawk who maintains deep ties to California green groups, Huffman is a former Natural Resources Defense Council attorney with over a decade of experience on the committee.
