Dr. Ruiz's Statement on California Desert Monument Designation Public Comment Meeting

Palm Desert, CA - Today, Dr. Raul Ruiz (D-Palm Desert) released the following statement regarding the California Desert Monument Designation Public Comments Meeting:

"It was an honor to join Sen. Feinstein and the other elected officials to hear the public's points of view on the proposed Sand to Snow, Mojave Trails, and Castle Mountain national monument designations. The Desert Conservation and Recreation Act gives our communities an opportunity to enjoy for generations to come what could be our nation's most environmentally diverse National Monument, and marry conservation, recreation, tourism and job creation. I support the bill and its passage through Congress."
