Companion legislation was led by Congressman Tracey Mann (KS-01) in the U.S. House of Representatives.\n\n\u201cToday, the Senate acted to protect farmers, ranchers and producers from the unnecessary consequences of listing the lesser prairie chicken,\u201d said Sen. Moran. \u201cListing the bird as a threatened or endangered species is not the answer \u2013 plain and simple, we need more rainfall, not more regulation. I am confident there are ways to conserve the species without hindering economic development in rural communities, and I will continue to push for a voluntary solution. I appreciate the Senate acting quickly to pass this resolution and Sen. Marshall\u2019s efforts to bring this legislation to the floor.\u201d\n\nClick HERE to Watch Sen.
