Environmental Lobbyist To Discuss Why the Environment Is Under Attack In the House Of Representatives

On Thursday, November 10th, the Lamorinda Democratic Club will welcome Ann Notthoff, California Advocacy Director of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). Ms. Notthoff will speak on why bedrock laws like the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act are currently under attack in the House of Representatives.

Ms. Notthoff directs a broad range of initiatives to promote public health and environmental protection. In 2010 she led the successful bipartisan campaign to defeat Prop 23 and defend California's landmark climate law, AB 32. She has also led NRDC's efforts to get many of California's nationally significant environmental laws enacted including: the Marine Life Protection Act (AB 993 in 1999), the Clean Car bill (AB 1493 in 2002), Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32 in 2006), climate and land use (SB 375 in 2008) and a package of water policy reforms in 2009.
