‘Thanks to the bipartisan leadership of colleagues like Senators Daines, Gardner, Portman, Alexander, Manchin, and Warner, we are attending to legislation that will shape the future of the great American outdoors for the better…I’m extremely proud to be a cosponsor of the Great American Outdoors Act.

‘Yesterday, our colleagues voted overwhelmingly to advance the Great American Outdoors Act. Thanks to the guiding leadership of colleagues like Senator Daines and Senator Gardner, we have a rare opportunity to take a huge step forward for some of our nation’s most cherished treasures.’
