Americans need a real steward for our public lands. Steve Pearce, Trump’s pick to lead the BLM, isn’t one.
He opposed environmental protections and pushed to sell public lands when he was in Congress.
Our public lands are NEVER for sale. I'm a NO on his nomination.

This Halloween, please consider offering food in addition to sweet treats to your trick or treaters. There's a house in my neighborhood that gives out canned food and every kid talks about it. It is THE house to hit.
