A Cleaner Environment for a Healthier Community

All Americans deserve a safe and clean environment, but the current Administration is putting our families' health at risk and placing our environmental protections in jeopardy. Even though the majority of Americans live within 10 miles of polluted water, the Administration continues to rollback environmental victories, making our public lands, air and water more vulnerable than ever. Democrats want all Americans to breathe clean air, drink clean water and enjoy our most treasured public lands. That's why we are fighting for environmental protections that will keep Americans healthy for generations to come.
