This initiative, conducted in conjunction with the Montana 250th Commission, features monthly spotlights on Montanans of note ahead of America\u2019s 250th anniversary. Each month centers on a different theme or category\u2014March is agriculture and food.\n\nRead Congressman Downing\u2019s Congressional Record submission here or below:\n\n\u201cIn honor of America\u2019s 250th birthday, Montana\u2019s Congressional Delegation is recognizing exceptional individuals who embody the spirit of our great state and nation.\n\n\u201cThis March, I\u2019m proud to highlight Montana\u2019s rich agricultural history and celebrate an individual who works tirelessly to give a voice to Montana\u2019s ranching families: Lesley Robinson.\n\n\u201cLesley is the Montana Stockgrowers Association\u2019s first woman president, elected in 2024 after having served in leadership since 2000. As the owner and operator of cow-calf operation Lazy JD Cattle Co, she not only advocates for Montana\u2019s stockgrowers, she is one herself.\n\n\u201cI have had the distinct pleasure of working with Lesley and MSGA to better understand the needs of the Montanans who bring the quality beef we know and love to market. I can say without a doubt that ranching in the Treasure State has no finer advocate.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s no secret that ranching is a part of the very fabric of the Montana way of life. With Lesley Robinson in the fight, it will remain that way for generations to come.\n\n\u201cIt is my honor to recognize her this March alongside 11 other individuals who represent everything that it means to be a Montanan.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-12T06:37:16Z", "2026-06-12T06:39:00Z"]], "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://downing.house.gov/media/press-releases/downing-honors-lesley-robinson-march-montana-innovator"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7611759938299656, "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"}
