Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler helped secure strong funding to protect and expand Pacific salmon habitat and boost hatchery production of salmon and steelhead in the Columbia River system in the year-end spending package the U.S. House passed this week. As a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, Herrera Beutler helped ensure that the package included $35.5 million to implement the Pacific Salmon Treaty and $22 million to support Mitchell Act hatchery activities – the largest federal funding in five years for this program. “Now that my sea lion bill has been signed into law, I am working with members from both political parties to take the next critical step: protect salmon habitat and increase hatchery production,” Herrera Beutler said. “I’m pleased we advanced this funding to bolster salmon in our rivers. Working together, we can protect the precious salmon resources we cherish so much.” The U.S. Senate is expected to pass this spending package today and send it promptly to the president to be signed into law prior to December 20.
