Support the America the Beautiful Act

Five years ago, Congress and the Trump administration made a bold, bipartisan promise to invest in our national parks. Since then, the Great American Outdoors Act has delivered, enabling the Park Service to tackle more than 600 high-priority repair and maintenance projects nationwide, while also creating more than 72,500 jobs and contributing more than $8 billion to local economies.

Urge Congress to keep this work going.

The new America the Beautiful Act would extend that funding to continue addressing the deferred maintenance backlog that has reached more than $23 billion. The protection of our nationally significant historic sites and fragile park ecosystems also need these investments.

The Great American Outdoors Act restored walkways at the Statue of Liberty, upgraded campgrounds in Yosemite and Rocky Mountain, and made park staff housing livable again in Glacier Bay and Great Sand Dunes.

Now, we have a chance to continue this successful funding for another eight years through the America the Beautiful Act.

The success of the Great American Outdoors Act doesn’t just depend on dollars. It also depends on dedicated staff who ensure these significant investments will be maintained for the next generation too. There's more work to do to ensure our parks are adequately staffed now and in the future. While we continue that fight, urge Congress to commit to funding the urgent repair projects in our national parks.

I write as your constituent to applaud the success of the Great American Outdoors Act in fixing national park infrastructure, and to urge you to support the America the Beautiful Act to extend that funding. I enjoy visiting our national parks and want to ensure they are protected for generations to come.

Extending the Great American Outdoors Act’s public lands maintenance fund makes sense for the preservation of our parks and to ensure everyone has a great experience. It also helps bolster the local businesses outside our parks that depend on these places. The protection of our nationally significant historic sites and fragile park ecosystems also need these investments.

The Great American Outdoors Act has led to hundreds of projects to repair national parks, contributing billions to the national economy and creating tens of thousands of jobs. Visitor centers, water systems, roads, campgrounds and more have been receiving needed restoration and reconstruction thanks to this fund. But the five-year investment runs out this year.

Please do everything in your power to ensure the swift passage of the America the Beautiful Act.
