I hope folks can get out and explore everything the Treasure State has to offer,\u201d said Daines.\n\n\u201cMichigan\u2019s natural beauty is part of what makes our state so great. Whether it\u2019s the Great Lakes, our amazing coastlines, or serene parks, there is truly something for everyone here. I\u2019m proud to help lead this bipartisan resolution to encourage more folks to get out and enjoy the natural treasures here in Michigan and all across our great nation, and to highlight the importance of preserving these lands and waters for generations to come,\u201d said Peters.\n\nRead the full resolution HERE.\n\nStatement of Support:\n\n\u201cOutdoor Recreation Roundtable applauds Senators Daines and Peters for once again leading this important tradition in the Senate and for their enduring commitment to growing a sustainable outdoor recreation economy for the benefit of all Americans. Great Outdoors Month is a moment to celebrate what the data makes clear: outdoor recreation is a $1.3 trillion economic engine supporting 5.2 million jobs and adding $351 million every day from recreation on federal lands and waters alone. Beyond the economics, decades of research confirm that getting outside \u2014 in urban and rural communities alike \u2014 improves health outcomes and quality of life across the board. We invite everyone to mark the occasion this month by enjoying the great outdoors,\u201d said Jessica Turner, President, Outdoor Recreation Roundtable.\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-26T06:29:35Z", "2026-06-26T06:31:46Z"]], "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.daines.senate.gov/2026/06/25/daines-peters-introduce-resolution-designating-june-as-great-outdoors-month/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8853697218000889, "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"}
