Reforming the Endangered Species Act for Species and Landowners

Yesterday, my legislation, the Endangered Species (ESA) Amendments Act, passed out of the House Natural Resources Committee. This paves the way for it to come to the floor for a vote before the full House of Representatives.

This bill makes reforms to the outdated ESA to incentivize conservation, protect landowner rights, and implement transparency in the recovery of species. It is also the product of the ESA Working Group, which I co-founded with House Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman.

Since its inception in 1973, the ESA has only recovered or de-listed 3% of its species.

Only in the federal government would a 3% success rate be considered acceptable, further proving that the ESA needs reform—not only for the sake of our species, but for the people of Central Washington affected by its land usage restrictions, impact on property values, and costly permitting requirements.

Our species and landowners have suffered too long from the misuse of the ESA, and the ESA Amendments Act puts an end to that. I am committed to working with my colleagues in Congress to provide tangible, common-sense solutions for the betterment of the landowners and species recovery.

Did a cow kill your sage grouse ?  Your wolf  ?   This is  an attempt to cozy up to his bootlickers in the ag industry and decrease protections for imperiled species.   He has no intent to improve the ESA for recovery of species. but will use whatever means he can to  reduce protections under the ESA.  How has the ESA affected anyone in central Washington State  ?  Only 3 % of listed species have been recovered because so much habitat has been lost, degraded and more recently burned,  species numbers are so  that it takes decades to recover them.  The ESA has kept many species from going EXTINCT and that is the purpose of the law, keep species from going extinct and recover them over time.   The 3 % is misguided attempt to manipulate  his fellow  Congressional members to support his attempt to change the law.  This is your wildlife, owned by the public.  Write Newhouse, and tell him hands off the Endangered Species Act.
