Congressman McNerney Statement On The Retirement Of Congressman Henry Waxman

“Over the last 40 years my friend and colleague, Congressman Henry Waxman has been a leader in Congress and a strong advocate for the people of his district, the state of California, and our nation.” 

“Henry was the driving force behind so many important legislative initiatives- to protect our environment, reform our health care system, and rebuild our economy.  I was honored to work with Henry on the Energy and Commerce Committee and as part of the Safe Climate Caucus. I have seen firsthand his commitment to preserving our natural resources for many generations to come. I wish him well.”
