Our great state is not only a destination for countless sportsmen, hunters, anglers, and nature-goers, but also the proud home to hardworking famers and foresters who work diligently to feed and clothe our state, nation, and world. It\u2019s our job as legislators to work toward responsible conservation solutions, and I\u2019m looking forward to continuing that work as a part of this caucus to do just that,\u201d said Senator Britt.\n\nAdditional inaugural members of the Senate Stewardship Caucus include U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), and Chris Coons (D-Del.).\n\n\u201cPublic lands are a purely American institution, and all Americans can find common ground in working together to better manage, conserve, and steward these treasured landscapes while driving economic growth and supporting our resource and agricultural economies. I\u2019m proud to launch the Senate Stewardship Caucus with Senator Heinrich to safeguard the rights of Americans to hunt, fish, and recreate on our public lands and ensure we protect them for generations to come,\u201d said Senator Sheehy.\n\n\u201cI can\u2019t think of a better day to launch the bipartisan Senate Stewardship Caucus than on Teddy Roosevelt\u2019s birthday. It\u2019s also the day that a book called the Sand County Almanac was published in 1949. As a young person, I had the privilege of serving as an outfitter guide in the very landscapes that Aldo Leopold wrote of in that book. It was seminal in creating what he called a \u2018Land Ethic\u2019 \u2014 the relationship that our communities have with place, with land \u2014 public and private \u2014 with streams, with wildlife,\u201d said Senator Heinrich. \u201cPutting together this Stewardship Caucus is an opportunity for all of us to work on these issues together to protect and conserve the places we know and love for this generation and the next.\u201d\n\n\u201cEven when America feels more divided than ever, conservation is a place of consensus,\u201d said Benji Backer, Founder & CEO of Nature Is Nonpartisan. \u201cThe most durable solutions come from bipartisanship, and we look forward to supporting the important work of the Senate Stewardship Caucus.\u201d\n\nSenator Britt previously served on the Alabama Wildlife Federation\u2019s (AWF) board of directors. She is proud of Alabama\u2019s abundant natural resources and is committed to preserving it for future generations.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "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://www.britt.senate.gov/news/press-releases/u-s-senator-katie-britt-colleagues-launch-senate-stewardship-caucus/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5438480768352747, "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"}
