Keeping us safe during storms is also important, and Lizzie has been advocating for and working to pass a plan to do that on the Gulf Coast. Last week, the House authored the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers transformative plan for coastal protection and restoration along the Texas coast — including the “Ike Dike” — which will protect the Houston Ship Channel and fortify Texas’ coast against hurricanes and rising sea levels.
Lizzie has worked to show her colleagues from across the country that this project is not only a big win for Houston and Texas, but for our entire country, as our port is a major economic driver for our nation’s economy and security. Another promise kept.
This weekend, we will celebrate Juneteenth, a holiday that reminds us of our ability to make progress and the importance of continuing our work to do so.
This week, we saw that work in action, and are so glad to share it with our entire team.
Thanks for being a part of the team,
Team Lizzie
