In the decade since I joined Congress, I’ve made it a priority to close that distance and get the federal government to pay attention to the cross-border sewage that has fouled Coronado and South Bay beaches for too long.

U.S. Rep. Scott Peters
Peters serves California's 50th congressional district, which includes Coronado. He was first elected in 2012. He earned his undergraduate degree from Duke University (magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa) and worked as an economist for the United States Environmental Protection Agency before attending New York University School of Law. He and his wife of 33 years reside in La Jolla, where they raised their son and daughter.
