February 22, 2020 - Fresno – Senator Andreas Borgeas (R-Fresno) issued the following statement in response to the President’s visit to the San Joaquin Valley:
“I am deeply appreciative that the President took the time to visit the San Joaquin Valley and learn about our water challenges,” said Senator Borgeas. “Thanks to the leadership of Congressman Kevin McCarthy, Congressman Devin Nunes, and former Congressman David Valadao, the federal government is finally taking action to provide more water for Valley farmers.”
“The ball is now in Governor Newsom’s court to provide clean, reliable and ample water supplies to Valley farmers and communities. The state must ensure that infrastructure and storage are a top priority. It’s simple: no water, no farms, and no food.”
