Oh, fer cryin' out loud. McClintock isn't a "victim" of any federal or state water policies. He is the poster boy for carpetbagging politicians. He represents CA-05, largely in the fire-prone foothills and forests of the Sierras between Sacramento and Fresno but he doesn't even live in his district. He lives in suburban Sacramento in Elk Grove, CA. Kiley, similarly, represents the Sierras surrounding the Lake Tahoe Basin and north to Lassen Volcanic NPK south along the East Side of the Sierras to the Mojave Desert but he lives just barely inside his district in Roseville, CA - also suburban Sacramento. Both of their heavily federally-owned and managed districts (USFS, BLM, NPS, FWS, etc.) have been affected by large, destructive wildfires in recent years that have consumed wonderful rural communities and run through large swaths of forest and rangeland. Funny, I don't recall McClintock ever calling for recovery aid for his constituents being conditional on California bending to GOP priorities on water and forest management issues.
