Congressman Flood Votes to Stop President Biden's WOTUS Overreach

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood issued a statement following a vote on H.J. Res. 27, a measure that would block President Biden’s attempted expansion of the Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) rule. Congressman Flood was an original co-sponsor of the measure. 

“President Biden’s expansion of WOTUS has not only caused more uncertainty and confusion for landowners and job creators across the country, but it’s entangling Americans in unnecessary red tape. The federal government should be looking for ways to cut red tape – not create more of it. Today’s bipartisan vote to stop the expanded WOTUS rule is a critical step towards protecting our family farmers, ranchers, and small business owners across the country from the Biden Administration’s egregious federal overreach.”

Congressman Flood is a member of the Western Caucus which advocates for rural policy issues in Washington D.C.
