I have been working on a range of management issues, from protecting coastal waters from offshore oil drilling to preserving the Alaska’s pristine Bristol Bay and Utah’s magnificent Redrock Wilderness. In addition, I am working to increase funding for our National Park System including the new Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, as well as to secure approval for a new Star Spangled Banner National Historic Trail that will commemorate America’s struggles in the War of 1812 including the critical battle at Fort McHenry. I believe the federal government has a responsibility through its management and acquisition of public lands to be a steward of our environment for future generations.
