This extensive federal footprint restricts our access, poses challenges to economic stability, and has exacerbated wildfire devastation due to inadequate stewardship,\u201d Fulcher added. \u201cI am actively working on identifying policy solutions that ensure Idahoans have more say in our land management practices. Together, we can ensure Idaho\u2019s public lands remain accessible, safe, and sustainably managed for generations to come.\u201d\n\nThe survey is available on Congressman Fulcher\u2019s website at https://fulcher.house.gov/ProtectOurLands/.\n\nPersonally identifiable information will remain confidential.\n\nEarlier this Congress, Congressman Fulcher issued a letter to Idaho\u2019s Constitutional Officers, State Legislators, and County Commissioners on the importance of encouraging local resource management, convening discussions on effective land-management practices moving forward, and safeguarding Idaho\u2019s public lands for future generations of Idahoans.\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-15T07:12:08Z", "2026-07-15T07:13:45Z"]], "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://fulcher.house.gov/2026/07/14/fulcher-issues-federal-land-management-survey-encourages-idahoans-to-participate/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9921151213347912, "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"}
