senate 05/15/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to expand the boundaries of Joshua Tree National Park by adding over 20,000 acres, transferring management of the land to the National Park Service to better protect it. Additionally, we aim to honor Senator Dianne Feinstein by renaming the Cottonwood Visitor Center in her memory.
