Protecting our Water and Climate

We have to prepare for a hotter, drier future by protecting our water for future generations. 

Through smart water management and targeted infrastructure investments, I’m working to secure the future of our water supply--and even lower your energy costs in the process. To effectively fight against climate change, we’ve all got to work together. I’ve partnered with Republicans to better combat drought and boost wildfire recovery efforts in the West. 

I’m leading legislation to allocate emergency funding and cooling resources during extreme heat events and to lower your energy costs by investing in hydropower technology. Just this past year, I’ve secured more than $11.9 million in federal funding for our communities, much of it for Arizona water infrastructure .
