Congratulations @DougBurgum on your nomination as Secretary of @Interior. America’s #Everglades provides drinking water for millions and is a huge economic driver. There is tremendous momentum to restore this national treasure, and @Interior is vital to its continued success.

🚨 The Army Corps just announced discharges from Lake O to the St. Lucie. 🚨 Floridians' health & safety is again being put at risk because of their failure. I'm demanding answers on their inability to manage Lake O in a way that prevents poisoning Floridians. Stay tuned.
