Representatives from the U.S. Fish and wildlife Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Land Management have been invited to attend.\n\"I encourage all residents affected by the lesser prairie chicken listing to attend this town hall meeting,\" Pearce said. \"You have a right to ask government officials why they made the decisions they made. Their choices affect your right to farm your land, graze\u00a0 your cattle, or continue the energy boom that's created so many good-paying jobs throughout Southeastern New Mexico. Federal officials owe New Mexicans an explanation for why their extraordinary cooperative efforts to preserve lesser prairie chicken habitat were not good enough.\"\nHobbs Town Hall: 11 a.m. to noon Saturday, 1 Thunderbird Circle, Western Heritage Museum & Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame, NMJC Campus, Hobbs", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://web.archive.org/web/20140502053503/http://pearce.house.gov/press-release/congressman-pearce-hold-town-hall-prairie-chicken-listing-hobbs"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.685208873823285, "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"}
