It was my honor to serve as the commencement speaker and celebrate Maryville College's 2024 graduating class! Each generation is challenged to be great by the one that came before. I look forward to seeing the impact they'll create for future generations.

A majority of the House of Representatives today voted to slash critical funding for our parks and the people who have given their careers to protect them. Now is the time to invest more in our parks, not less.

This is such an important step. We strongly support and encourage continued actions by this administration, which also restored protections for Bears Ears and recently established Avi Kwa Ame National Monument.

Excited to have joined @SecDebHaaland and @AsstSecEstenoz at the annual Everglades Conference. So inspiring to reflect on the many ways park lovers have helped make Everglades restoration a reality & look ahead at the future we all want for our parks!
