Sen. Kelly Statement on National Monument Designation Near Grand Canyon

Statement

"President Biden's designation of this new national monument is a welcome decision that will protect cultural sites as well as the communities and recreation jobs that depend on this land. It's also the result of years of advocacy by Arizona community and tribal leaders who I was proud to support by leading this effort alongside Senator Sinema in the United States Senate.

I've had the opportunity to see the Grand Canyon's beauty from space and up close and there is just no other place like it. Now, generations of tribal residents, hikers, bikers, rafters, and others will continue to enjoy all the Grand Canyon region has to offer to the benefit of our state and our economy."
