Keep authority over Texans’ waters in Texas

Carter applauded the Trump administration’s withdrawal of the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule and supports Texans, rather than the federal government, having authority over their own waters. He presents this as a continuing position, but does not propose a specific measure or define the scope of that authority.

Context: The scope of the authority Carter supports is unspecified.

In their own words

I will continue to support Texans having authority over their own waters and not the federal government.
