Can a Lame Duck Congress Get Anything Done?

Yes, and here’s what Congress can do for national parks.



Aside from our top priorities, members of Congress have more to get done — and they need to do right by parks. Our watch list covers extending the Farm Bill, which includes funding for private landowners adjacent to parks; passing the Water Resources Development Act, which authorizes new water infrastructure improvement projects; and potentially reforming the permitting process for energy development. NPCA will be watching all these issues and more.

Congressional leadership will be mixing and matching different pieces of legislation. Some of this legislation may get its own vote, some may get combined. This could lead to some massive packages of bills at the end of the year — the political epitome of how the sausage gets made.

None of this precludes Congress from adding poison pills that may upend our advocacy efforts — that’s when we ask you to take action. Our Government Affairs team is knocking on doors as we build relationships on both sides of the aisle to build the case against poison pills, but we need your help, too.

You can take action on these conservation priorities:
