Pueblo of Santa Ana Supports Rep. Stansbury for Ranking Member of House Committee on Natural Resources

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Melanie Stansbury (NM-01), welcomes the endorsement from Myron Armijo, Governor of the Pueblo of Santa Ana for Ranking Member on the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources:

"The Pueblo of Santa Ana writes to lend our strong support for Representative Melanie Stansbury to serve as Ranking Member of the House Committee on Natural Resources in the 119th Congress.

We know that the 119th Congress will bring significant challenges to Native American sacred sites on federal lands, the ongoing need to conserve water and approve Indian water rights settlements, and the need to protect and improve federal programs and services that seek to meet the most basic treaty and trust obligations of the United States to Tribal Governments. Representative Stansbury is a proven and effective communicator with expertise in each of these issue areas. Her expertise in water policy, her unwavering voice to protect and preserve ouR public lands, and her dedication to upholding the Government’s solemn obligations to Indian Country make Representative Stansbury the perfect candidate to serve as a leading voice to meet each of these challenges.“
