I\u2019m thrilled to commemorate this week as National Park Week with Senator King. These parks are America\u2019s crown jewels, and we will cherish them for generations to come,\u201d said Daines.\n\n\u201cFrom the rocky coasts of Acadia to the breathtaking canyons of Zion, America\u2019s national parks hold some of our nation\u2019s most treasured landscapes and inspire people from around the world by the majesty and vision of America\u2019s best idea. As our parks continue to face serious staffing and funding challenges, National Park Week is an important reminder of our responsibility to protect these special places and support the dedicated employees who care for them. This bipartisan resolution reaffirms our commitment to preserving America\u2019s national parks so they can be enjoyed for generations to come,\u201d said King.\n\nSenators Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Christopher Coons (D-Del.), John Cornyn (R-Tex.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), John Curtis (R-Utah), Richard Durbin (D-Ill.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Margaret Hassan (D-N.H.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Jon Husted (R-Ohio), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), James Justice (R-W.Va.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), John Kennedy (R-La.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Ben Ray Luj\u00e1n (D-N.M.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), James Risch (R-Idaho), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Thomas Tillis (R-N.C.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), and Todd Young (R-Ind.) joined Daines and King in sponsoring the resolution.\n\nRead the full resolution HERE.\n\nNational Park Week Theme Days\n\nSaturday, August 22: Kickoff Saturday and Freedom 250 Grand Pix\n\nSunday, August 23: Safety Sunday\n\nMonday, August 24: America in Motion Monday\n\nTuesday, August 25: National Park Service 110th Birthday & Fee-Free Day\n\nWednesday, August 26: Watch Wildlife Wednesday\n\nThursday, August 27: Thankful Thursday\n\nFriday, August 28: Freedom Friday\n\nSaturday, August 29: Staff Saturday\n\nSunday, August 30: Junior Ranger Day\n\nRead more from the National Park Service HERE.\n\n###", 1, "2026-08-26T05:33:32Z", "2026-08-26T05:34:56Z"]], "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/2026/08/25/on-the-park-services-110th-birthday-daines-king-lead-resolution-celebrating-national-park-week/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8781841024756432, "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"}
