Congresswoman Lee Honored for Conservation Record

(Washington, DC) – Representative Barbara Lee received the “Friend of the National Parks” award from the National Parks Conservation Association on Wednesday.

“National Parks are national treasures,” said Rep. Lee. “Everyone has a stake in seeing to it that they are protected for generations to come.”

Rep. Lee received the award for her votes in the 108th Congress that upheld the integrity of the National Park System or protected the parks from harm. Rep. Lee was one of only fifty one Representatives nationwide to receive a grade of 100% on such votes.
