  1. Marin County, whose district in the House and Senate? Jared William Huffman, on the "environmental committee." Opposed legislation: Preventing Government Waste and Protecting Coal Mining Jobs in America – is a bill that would "amend the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to require state programs for regulation of surface coal mining to incorporate the necessary rule concerning excess spoil, coal mine waste, and buffers for perennial and intermittent streams published by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement on December 12, 2008."[23] Huffman opposed the bill, arguing that it should be opposed because the supporters "believe coal companies should be allowed to blow the tops off mountains and dump the waste into streams, no matter what the science says about the consequence for our environment and the public health."[24] Water Rights Protection Act – a bill that would prevent federal agencies from requiring certain entities to relinquish their water rights to the United States in order to use public lands.[25] The bill was a reaction to the United States Forest Service's decision to pursue a "new regulation to demand that water rights be transferred to the federal government as a condition for obtaining permits needed to operate 121 ski resorts that cross over federal lands."[26] Huffman opposed the bill and accused the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water and Power of being unnecessarily "adversarial" and having "unfairly vilified" the Forest Service after a committee hearing about the bill.[26] Committee assignments: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Natural Resources Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee on Water and Power Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation Select Committee on the Climate Crisis Caucus memberships[edit] Congressional Progressive Caucus[27] Congressional Arts Caucus[28] Congressional Freethought Caucus
