Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is negotiating to take an advisory position with the Westlands Water District, the largest agricultural water district in the U.S. This role comes as the district aims to secure federal contracts from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation under a new administration. Westlands represents influential Central Valley farmers with strong ties to GOP politics. McCarthy's potential involvement could strategically position him to navigate ongoing conflicts in California water policy, particularly against Governor Gavin Newsom's environmental stances, especially regarding the controversial Delta Conveyance Tunnel project.
