The Biden administration announced water restrictions for states in the Colorado River Basin. Sen. Mark Kelly wants to create partnerships among those states
After four space missions as an astronaut for NASA within the span of a decade, Sen. Mark Kelly says he has seen the effects of climate change firsthand. Now he’s calling on states neighboring Arizona to help address increasing water shortages.
After the Biden administration’s announcement on water restrictions for states in the Colorado River Basin, Kelly is calling on California, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada to “step up to the plate.” Earlier this month, Kelly had announced an agreement alongside Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., and Michael Bennet, D-Colo., to include $4 billion in funding for the Bureau of Reclamation to combat drought in the western U.S. in the Inflation Reduction Act.
Biden signed the bill on Aug. 16 – the same day that the Bureau of Reclamation announced what it called"urgent action" as water levels in the river's two largest reservoirs continue to drop. Now Kelly is focusing on water shortages as a key reelection issue as he faces Republican opponent Blake Masters in the Nov. 8 midterm election.
