Barragán and DeSaulnier led 34 members from both chambers in opposition to EPA Administrator Zeldin's Risk Management Program rule.

The official House homepage's Latest News section lists a May 20, 2026 release titled 'Representatives Nanette Barragán, Robert Garcia, and Senators Alex Padilla, Adam Schiff on DOD’s decision to bypass ILWU Local 56 for hazardous materials services during LA Fleet Week.'

Recent official activity shows Barragán engaged on a hazardous-materials issue, but the item is not a direct action on a preventative Risk Management Program.

Barragán's official committees page says the Energy and Commerce Committee covers 'environmental protection,' 'clean air and climate change,' 'safe drinking water,' and 'toxic chemicals and hazardous waste,' and that she co-chairs the United for Climate and Environmental Justice Congressional Task Force.

Her current committee roles give her direct venue over chemical-safety policy, but this page does not show delivery of the specific Risk Management Program promise.

Barragán's committee page says the Energy and Commerce Committee legislates on environmental protection, clean air and climate change, safe drinking water, and toxic chemicals and hazardous waste, and lists her on the Environment subcommittee.

Her current committee placement gives her jurisdictional venue over chemical-safety policy, but the page does not show that she secured the promised preventative program.

The report says chemical accidents rose at least 51% since 2021 while the Trump administration is moving to dismantle 2024 RMP protections.

Within the lookback window, strong reporting indicates the promised preventative RMP protections remain under threat rather than securely delivered.

WSJ reports 131 serious chemical accidents in 2025 and says 2024 RMP reforms have not fully taken effect and are threatened with reversal.

Recent reporting in the lookback window supports that chemical-disaster prevention remains unsettled and not fully implemented.

EPA proposed amendments to the 2024 SCCAP rule, including changes to safer-technology analyses, public information, third-party audits, employee participation, notifications, siting, natural hazards, and power loss.

Official rulemaking shows EPA is actively reconsidering and proposing to weaken or revise major preventative RMP provisions, so delivery is not settled.

EPA extended the comment period on the RMP proposed rule to May 11, 2026, after stakeholder requests.

The official docket remained open shortly before the lookback window, confirming the rollback/revision proceeding was pending, not resolved.

Barragán’s official press-release index lists a May 11, 2026 release saying she led bicameral opposition to a new EPA rule.

This is concrete candidate action that likely targets the RMP rollback rule whose comment period closed the same day, but it does not show final delivery.

EPA finalized RMP revisions with accident-prevention changes, emergency preparedness enhancements, public chemical-hazard information improvements, and a prevention-focused purpose.

The 2024 federal rule materially advanced the promised preventative RMP, but the evidence does not establish Barragán’s role and later rollback proceedings leave the outcome unstable.
