Support H.R. 139, the Udall-Eisenhower Arctic Wilderness Act, which would protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as wilderness. Support for the President to continue using his authority to designate National Monuments to protect places of significant ecological, historical, and cultural value.Opposition to H.R. 1256, the Restoring Healthy Forests for Healthy Communities Act, H.R. 1294, the Self-Sufficient Community Lands Act of 2013, and a draft bill entitled the O&C Trust, Conservation, and Jobs Act, all of which would mandate intensive logging or would create timber trusts to maximize revenue production for counties. Opposition to H.R. 818, the Healthy Forest Management and Wildfire Prevention Act, and H.R. 1345, the Catastrophic Wildfire Prevention Act of 2013, which purport to address wildfire by eviscerating longstanding common sense protections. Opposition to H.R. 1459, the Ensuring Public Involvement in the Creation of National Monuments Act, which would undermine the Presidents authority under the Antiquities Act to protect objects of historical, cultural, and environmental value. Opposition to all other efforts to undermine the Antiquities Act. Opposition to H.R. 2642, the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013 (also referred to as the House Farm Bill) that contains radical and far-reaching anti-environmental provisions and unrelated riders. Support for S. 954, the Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2013 (also referred to as the Senate Farm Bill), which advances conservation efforts on farms via inclusion of conservation compliance and a nationwide sodsaver provision. Support for the Department of the Interior to maintain the integrity of Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, its designated wilderness and globally significant ecological values. Support for the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee to advance a public lands legislative package that protects our public lands, safeguards our national forests and waters, and maintains our bedrock federal laws that protect our special places. Support for members of Congress signing a letter to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell encouraging her to continue using her and the presidents authority to protect public lands as national monuments. Opposition to H.R. 3590, the so-called Sportsmen Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act, which contains several harmful measures that attack the National Environmental Policy Act, the Wilderness Act, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Opposition to H.R. 2954, a package of destructive public lands bills that includes provisions that would undermine conservation protections at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, obstruct reviews of grazing leases which are critical in protecting imperiled species such as the greater sage-grouse, and promote harmful logging. Opposition to S. 1966, the National Forest Jobs and Management Act of 2014, which purports to make all laws unenforceable in a near tripling of logging on national forests. Support for Rep. Keith Ellisons Wildlife Refuges and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) amendment #24 to the Sportsmen's Heritage And Recreational Enhancement Act of 2013 (H.R. 3590), an amendment which strikes the harmful NEPA provision contained in the bill and restores the voice of hunters, anglers and all wildlife supporters in major wildlife refuge decisions.

Revise farm bill reference to add in support for final Farm Bill. Support for HR 2642, the Agricultural Act of 2014, the final Farm Bill conference report, which included key conservation provisions and kept out anti-environmental riders pushed in the House-passed legislation.
