Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation. The Udall Foundation Reauthorization Act (H.R. 2882) would reauthorize the foundation, named after Arizona\u2019s former U.S. Congressmen Mo and Stewart Udall, until 2028.\n\nThe Senate companion legislation, led by U.S. Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ), passed the Senate with unanimous consent in April.\n\n\u201cThe Udall Foundation is a powerful platform that honors Arizona\u2019s former U.S. Representatives Mo and Stewart Udall\u2019s legacies on our nation\u2019s natural resources and public lands,\" said Ciscomani. \u201cThis bill guarantees the continued operation of the organization, which has been an impactful avenue for students, scholars, and researchers in addressing our top environmental and natural resource concerns. With the committee\u2019s passage of the bill, it is one step closer to becoming law and ensuring the foundation is able to continue its crucial work.\u201d\n\n\u201cAs a former Udall Foundation Fellow myself, I\u2019m proud that my Udall Foundation Reauthorization Act passed out of the House Natural Resources Committee. This bill will allow the next generation of scholars and interns to be empowered to protect and defend our environment and natural resources,\u201d said Stansbury. \u201cThrough reauthorization, I\u2019m proud to continue Mo and Steward Udall's extraordinary legacies to protect the environment and ensure Indigenous scholars can contribute their expertise to our higher education institutions and our government.\"\n\n\u201cThe Udall Foundation thanks Chair Westerman, Ranking Member Grijalva, and the Committee on Natural Resources for their support of H.R. 2882,\u201d said Charlie Rose, Chair of the Udall Foundation Board of Trustees. \u201cWe are especially grateful to our sponsor Representative Ciscomani and original co-sponsor and Committee member Representative Stansbury. The Udall Foundation will continue to deliver on our agency\u2019s nonpartisan mission of providing our Nation with environmental collaboration and conflict resolution services and education programs in the areas of environmental public policy, Tribal public policy, and Native health care.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://ciscomani.house.gov/media/press-releases/ciscomani-stansbury-celebrate-committee-passage-bipartisan-bill-support-tucson"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8458760567009449, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
