WESTERN CAUCUS UPDATES
Congressional Western Caucus Chairman Dan Newhouse (WA-04) led the effort for Caucus members to push for an extended public comment period on legislation that would introduce Grizzly Bears to Northern Washington.
Newhouse expresses that constituents of northern Washington have reservations about this introduction – as Grizzly Bears are potential predators to locals. The extended commentary period would give them more of an opportunity to voice their concerns and speak for their region.
Representatives Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05), Cliff Bentz (OR-02), Russ Fulcher (ID-01), Harriet Hageman (WY at-large), and Matt Rosendale joined the Chairman in his effort.
