It's National Park Week, and I LOVE our country's National Parks.
Congress has the duty to oversee them, and I'm especially passionate about the Every Kid Outdoors program, which provides fourth graders and their families with free access to National Parks. I introduced the Every Kid Outdoors Act earlier this year to permanently fund this program—without Congressional action, this program will expire in 2026.
My bill would permanently fund this program and expand it to fifth grade students. Letting Every Kid Outdoors die would be a huge loss not just for the kids, but for the local economies who rely on park visitors.
This bill is still working its way through Congress, can you sign my petition to show your support for fully, permanently funding the Every Kid Outdoors program?
Making our parks more accessible allows students to learn about public lands, keeps kids healthy, lets families take affordable vacations, and boosts local economies—a win for everyone. My family has made so many memories at National Parks across the country, and it's an opportunity everyone should have. Here's my daughter Betsy and I on our most recent National Park adventure to Pinnacles National Park in Central California.
Wherever you live, I hope you're able to get outside and enjoy one of our country's incredible National Parks sometime soon.
