Rep. Stewart's Statement Regarding President Trump's Announcement On National Monuments

Statement

Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) released the following statement in response to President Trump's announcement on the Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments:

"The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument resides in my district. I have seen firsthand the damage that the monument has caused to the local economy. My constituents have been in a desperate need of change, and today President Trump delivered."

"President Trump had the courage that no other president had. He listened to local voices that had been left out of the decision-making process for too long. On behalf of the county commissioners, the state legislators who represent the area, and the entire federal delegation, we say thank you, Mr. President."
