Speech
Preserving and enhancing America's wilderness areas and the National Park System are priorities for me in Congress. As a member of the House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, I have a responsibility to be a thoughtful and diligent steward of these irreplaceable treasures so we can pass them to future generations intact.
Lou, thank you so much for that introduction, and thank you to Native Nation Events for inviting me to be here with you all today! During your conference, you are going to hear from experts about changes you want to make to improve health care in Indian Country and you all know there is a lot of work to do.
Good evening. It is such an honor to receive this very special award and the recognition of a community committed to ending hunger.
