Jun 21, 2019
WASHINGTON - Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) issued the following statement Friday after taking with President Trump about his current Iran strategy:

Jun 13, 2019
WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the Native Species Protection Act Thursday, a bill that would allow states to manage species that exist entirely within their border.

Lee said. “The Native Species Protection Act is a commonsense reform that would limit the damage caused by federal mismanagement of protected species and their habitats, while empowering state and local officials to pursue sensible conservation plans with their communities.”

Lee said. “All Americans should be free to trade with other Americans and the Protecting Access to American Products Act will help ensure that happens.”
