Melanie Stansbury, a Democrat from New Mexico, introduced the Rural Outdoor Investment Act along with Democratic Senators Michael Bennet of Colorado and Chuck Schumer of New York. “New Mexico is a powerhouse in the outdoor economy, with our beautiful and wild landscapes and thriving local economies, which is why I am proud to introduce the Rural Outdoor Investment Act with Senator Bennet,” Stansbury said in a press release. “The outdoor economy brings billions of dollars to New Mexico every year and employs over 35,000 people across the state.
