John,
This is incredible!
Coastal Virginians know that the Chesapeake Bay is a natural treasure that we must preserve for future generations.
That’s why Elaine introduced bipartisan legislation to fully fund the EPA’s program to restore the Bay over the next five years and secured $85 million in funding for the Chesapeake Bay program for 2020 -- the highest level of funding the program has ever received!
Now researchers are reporting that the Chesapeake Bay’s dead zone -- an area where oxygen levels are so low due to pollution that aquatic life dies -- is the smallest it’s been in years, proof that cleanup efforts are working.
Elaine is committed to protecting this invaluable economic and recreational resource for generations to come. Will you chip in today to support her work and keep her fighting for us in Congress?
Thank you,
Team Elaine
