Cemex Mine
Over the years I have fought to preserve the beauty of our lands and open spaces for all of us to enjoy. During my second term in Congress I was able to pass into law the Elsmere Canyon bill preventing the largest mega-landfill from being constructed in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Protecting our valleys has always been a very important issue for me in Congress, and I continue to fight for the important issues facing our communities. As you may know, Cemex has been trying for several years to mine aggregate in the Soledad Canyon. From the beginning, I have been an ardent opponent of the Cemex mine.
So far, we've been successful, not one shovel of aggregate has been extracted from the Cemex mine.
