Today, U.S. Representative John Garamendi (D-CA08) voted to pass the “Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2024” (S.4367) in the House of Representatives by a bipartisan vote of 399 to 18.  “The Water Resources Development Act passed today continues our bipartisan tradition of meeting the water infrastructure needs of communities across California and the country. As a senior member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I secured several provisions in this bill directing federal investment for Mare Island, restoring Bay Area wetlands, and improving our precious water supply for local communities in California’s 8th Congressional District. This pivotal legislation will strengthen community resilience from the threats of climate change, improve California’s water resource projects that safeguard human health, and enrich America’s vital natural aquatic ecosystems for generations to come,” said Garamendi.
