Priority Issues:
Congresswoman Doris O. Matsui represents the Sacramento region in the United States House of Representatives making sure her constituent's voices are heard in Washington, D.C. She is a member of two of the House's most powerful committees. the House Rules Committee and the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. One of Rep. Matsui's top priorities has been to increase the level of flood protection in the Sacramento area. As a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Rep. Matsui was able to secure the authorization for the critical Folsom Dam Joint Federal Project. This spillway will significantly increase the level of flood protection in the Sacramento region within the next decade. Another top priority of Rep. Matsui's is improving Sacramentos transportation systems. Helping to meet our areas transportation needs in the future requires an investment in our region's public transit and roadway infrastructure. This investment will not only be good for families and business alike, but will help clean up our air and preserve our quality of life.
