WASHINGTON, D.C.— Rep. Kat Cammack joined Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA-04) and 195 House Republicans in sending a letter to President Biden, blasting his administration for its premature and reckless “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) final rule.

The Members demand the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers rescind the rule and postpone any subsequent agency action on WOTUS to allow the Supreme Court to issue an opinion on Sackett v. EPA.

 “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, WOTUS is the most egregious federal overreach this nation has ever faced,” said Rep. Newhouse. “Every farmer, rancher, or property owner who moves dirt will be harmed by this rule. This letter emphasizes House Republicans’ commitment to fighting back against this overreach and representing the voices of our constituents who are united against this rulemaking.”
