Dear Mr. R,

Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about invasive species and H.R. 669, the Nonnative Invasive Species Prevention Act. I appreciate your comments and I welcome this opportunity to share my views.

As someone who grew up on Lake Erie, I am well aware of the damages that nonnative species, such as zebra mussels, can do to an ecosystem. My neighbors in Columbus spend a lot of time and effort trying to remove invasive species like garlic mustard from the ravine areas. So H.R. 669, the Nonnative Invasive Species Prevention Act makes a lot of sense to me. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Thank you again for taking the time to reach out to me. As your representative, I both need and value your perspective. Please feel free to write, email and call about any issue that you wish to discuss with me. I look forward to continuing our dialogue in the future.

Sincerely,

Mary Jo Kilroy
Member of Congress
