EcoNews Report #251: Pre-Election Jitters with Rep. Jared Huffman

This episode originally aired October 19, 2024.

Congressman Huffman is back on the show. With a major election in just a few days, what is the Congressman up to? When he isn’t calling voters in swing states — has anyone in Nevada received a call from a “Jared from California”? — he is sponsoring new legislation to protect birds and whales. The Congressman also has new bipartisan fire resiliency legislation that seeks to make our state safer without sacrificing environmental protections along the way. Join Environmental Protection Information Center Executive Director Tom Wheeler and Friends of the Eel River Conservation Director Scott Greacen on the EcoNews Report this week as they check in with Rep. Jared Huffman.
