NEWS: Rep. Schiff Receives 100% Rating On National Parks Action Fund’s Congressional Scorecard
Washington, D.C.— Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) received an A and 100% rating on this year's Congressional Scorecard from the National Parks Action Fund for his record on park funding, conservation, historic preservation, and wildlife protection.
Rep. Schiff has been a longtime supporter of protecting our wildlife and public lands in Southern California and across America. In 2008 he passed the Rim of the Valley Corridor Study Act which directed the National Park Service to conduct a special resource study of the Rim of the Valley Corridor. The study sought to determine the suitability and feasibility of designating all or a portion of the Rim of the Valley Corridor as a unit of the existing area and how these areas could be better managed and preserved. The National Park Service began the study in 2010 and transmitted its final report to Congress and the public in February 2016.
Following that study, Schiff first introduced the Rim of the Valley Corridor Preservation Act in 2017 with late California Sen. Dianne Feinstein and then-Sen. Kamala Harris to add more than 191,000 acres of the Rim of the Valley Corridor to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. He reintroduced the Rim of the Valley Corridor Preservation Act in March of last year and continues to champion its passage, in addition to supporting other key public lands and wildlife legislation.
