During Capitol visits, Hispanic leaders thanked Sen. @SteveDaines for supporting public lands during reconciliation & leading the America the Beautiful Act, which boosts annual funding for deferred maintenance in national parks. Also urged him to support the PATRIOT Parks Act.

Resolution Copper has conducted a misinformation campaign to mislead the Americans about the proposed mine at Oak Flat in Arizona.
🔺MYTH: The mine will provide 25% of the U.S. demand for copper.
✅ FACT: It's highly likely that the copper extracted will be shipped to China.
