Senators Curtis and Schiff urged U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Rollins this week to address staffing shortages at the U.S. Forest Service by expanding firefighting capacity. The request comes as Utah battles nearly ten major fires and other Western states face heightened threats during the ongoing wildfire season.

Senator Curtis today issued the following statement in response to guidance posted by the Department of Treasury regarding Executive Order 14315, Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign-Controlled Energy Sources.

Last week, Senators Curtis and Gallego introduced the bipartisan Water Infrastructure Modernization Act to increase the use of smart water technologies. The legislation provides $50 million in grant funding for community water systems to purchase and implement new water technologies, including those that can identify water loss, examine pipe integrity, detect leaks, prepare for severe weather, innovate water storage systems, and more.
