Our farmers, miners and loggers deserve to know how their livelihoods will be impacted, as do our recreators who enjoy exploring our great outdoors on their ATVs, motorboats and snowmobiles. We\u2019ve asked once before and we\u2019re asking again. I look forward to hearing clear answers from the Biden Administration soon.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt has been over a year since we asked the Biden Administration their intentions with their 30x30 plan, and we have yet to receive a response,\u201d said Congresswoman Fischbach. \u201cWe still do not know where this land will come from or how it will impact existing operations like the hundreds of farms across Minnesota\u2019s 7th district. I urge the Administration to respond to our inquiries in a timely manner.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:08:33Z"]], "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://emmer.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/emmer-joins-minnesota-republicans-to-demand-biden-administration-address-impacts-of-30x30-plan"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2876731343567371, "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"}
