Hi,
Rachel Kelly at the RNC gave me your contact info. I am an RNC donor, early Trump supporter, and friend of Reince Priebus. There are two reasons for me contacting you.
1) I'd like to get involved with the EPA to help craft a new climate change policy. I have a keen interest in this matter and I have proposed policies to Reince in the past. Also I suggested a "pro-con" study which I see has now gotten some traction as a "red team blue team" study. I would like to get involved with that effort as well. I have a resume' that I can submit if you are interested. Also I am offering my services gratis. Please understand that many of us long time RNC donors/supporters have worked through the years to get the house back, then the senate back, and now the White House back and would now like to get involved with the administration in helping it achieve its goals. This would be our ultimate reward.
2) I'd like request help from the EPA concerning a matter of critical importance to the area where I live, Santa Barbara County, California. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is in the process of updating a biological opinion on water release from our Cachuma Lake reservoir to help a tiny population of steelhead trout survive downstream from the dam. Throughout the historic 5 year drought they have been releasing 2,000,000 gallons of water per day which is equal to the total water usage of the community that I live in, Montecito, CA to keep 88 steelhead trout alive in Hilton Creek. The environmentalists are charging that the water release program is not acceptable so the NMFS is updating it biological opinion which I

understand will include draconian measures to propagate this ill-considered program. I would like to petition the EPA to reconsider the entire water release program. I can provide detailed background information on this issue.
I would like to discuss these matters with you on the telephone and then schedule an in person meeting at your convenience. You can contact me at (805) 969-6810.
Thanks,
