Waxman in the News

"Waxman is a legislative genius… Waxman greatly strengthened the Clean Air Act and authored legislation that expanded Medicaid coverage to the poorest children… heightened standards of care at nursing homes, created screening programs for breast and cervical cancer, provided health care for people with HIV/AIDS, (and) expanded Medicaid coverage to the working poor."

"Tens of millions of Americans are healthier, breathe cleaner air and live safer lives because of (Waxman’s) legislative efforts."

"When it comes to putting powerful people on the hot seat, there's no one tougher and more tenacious than veteran California Congressman Henry Waxman… blasting the Bush Administration and the Republican Congress on everything from faulty prewar intelligence and flaws in missile defense to the flu-vaccine shortage and arsenic in drinking water."

"Rep. Henry Waxman has developed a reputation as a master legislator - someone whose balance of principle and pragmatism has allowed him to amass a long slate of legislative victories in all kinds of different political climates."
