Restore the Snake River and its salmon and steelhead –
Invest in our communities, infrastructure and environment!

Rep. Simpson and his staff have held over 300 meetings to inform this ambitious initiative. His proposal would:
This bold proposal would tackle a long-standing set of linked problems facing the Northwest. Decades of costly and ineffective policies have brought many salmon and steelhead populations to the brink of extinction. Risk and uncertainty are also affecting our region’s energy and agricultural sectors. Rep. Simpson’s proposal is comprehensive – it would address these challenges by investing tens of billions in solutions that resolve these core issues and bring everyone forward together.
In his announcement, Rep. Simpson invited other members of Congress, Northwest states, tribes and stakeholders into an urgent conversation about how to improve and advance this critical initiative. While there are parts of this proposal we have concerns with and need to be addressed, creating momentum now for this essential discussion and comprehensive approach is important. This initiative would achieve the largest river and wildlife restoration in history. The community investments would position Northwest economy for the 21st century. It will take all of us working together to seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity.
