This congressman seems to be focused on environmental issues the most by far are
environmental ones. He doesn’t seem to have a specific issues page (just an “about” me page), but
some of the things he has done in the past are dam removal for Klamath River, getting an
emergency EPA response preventing a toxic disaster, brokering an agreement for muir woods that
reduced traffic gridlock in the area.
