Doug Burgum is pushing to let tech companies build data centers on public lands while holding tens of millions of dollars invested in the AI industry.

He wants to open up the very public lands he oversees to an industry he’s actively making tons of money off of.

Protecting our national parks means protecting the people, wildlife, and communities that depend on them. More than 130 National Park Service Partnership Agreements, representing at least $25 million in funding, were delayed or disapproved by the Department of the Interior, putting critical wildfire preparedness, conservation, restoration, and public safety projects at risk.

This funding cannot wait. Ranking Member Huffman and I are leading 55 House Democrats in demanding answers from the DOI about this critical funding.

Our National Parks must be protected.

RFK put four stockholders for major pharmaceutical companies on a panel that influences medical care and what insurers cover.
