(AZ-09), issued the following statement after introducing two bills nullifying previously declared national monuments that lock up federal lands:\n\n\u201cThe reckless declaration of vast national monuments has locked up thousands of acres of land, placing them off limits to responsible mining, energy development and other multiple-use purposes that help fuel our economy and support American energy independence.\n\nI am pleased to reintroduce H.R. 5392, the Northern Arizona Protection Act, legislation that would nullify the Baaj Nwaavjo I\u2019tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, declared on August 8, 2023, by Joe Biden, for the stated purpose of preventing uranium mining.\n\nI also introduced H.R. 5393, the Southern Arizona Protection Act, nullifying the Ironwood Forest National Monument, declared on June 9, 2000, by Bill Clinton, solely to lock up domestic copper and gold mining.\n\nThe Antiquities Act was never intended to be a tool for radical environmentalists and their political cronies in Washington, D.C. to block access to America\u2019s abundant and much-needed resources. Thankfully, the Trump Administration is reconsidering both of these National Monuments as executive abuses under the Antiquities Act.", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "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://gosar.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=9030"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9656790643930435, "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"}
