WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Kelly Armstrong (R-ND) released the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the case Sackett v. EPA, which ruled in favor of the Sacketts.

Congressman Armstrong said, “the Supreme Court’s decision to rein in the EPA’s overreach is a win for North Dakota’s farmers and ranchers. For years, the threat of WOTUS has hung over the heads of our Agricultural producers. It would violate private property rights and add more layers of red tape. The Biden administration needs to immediately rescind its proposed WOTUS rule so we can get back to policies that help producers feed and fuel the world,” said Congressman Armstrong.
