"We should be bolstering American energy independence and American jobs - not making ourselves vulner..." — Andrew R. Wheeler

We are working to understand and regulate per- and polyfluoroalkyl synthetic chemicals, known as PFAS and PFOS, used to make water-repellent fabrics and non-stick products. These chemicals have been in prevalent use since the 1940s, but we need to learn more about their potential effects on human health and the environment.

I have thought for years environmental issues need to be depoliticized.

We're taking climate change seriously. But it's not the only environmental issue that we face as a planet.

I would say that California has been focused on climate change to the detriment of the other environmental programs.
