It has been a distinct honor to serve alongside Chairman Hoeven and advance the Committee\u2019s strong bipartisan tradition as vice chairman. I look forward to continuing to work alongside not only New Mexico\u2019s 23 Tribes, but also Tribal leaders and Native communities from across the country as we fight for their priorities.\u201d\r\n <p><\/p>\r\nIn addition to Hoeven and Udall, the following senators also joined as co-sponsors of the resolution: Jerry Moran (R-KS), John Barrasso (R-WY), James Lankford (R-OK), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), James Inhofe (R-OK), Jon Tester (D-MT), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Tina Smith (D-MN), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Mark Warner (D-VA), Angus King, Jr. (I-ME), Charles Schumer (D-NY), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), and Brian Schatz (D-HI).\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cFrom their distinguished service in the Armed Forces, to their contributions as teachers, doctors, lawyers, artists, and entrepreneurs, Native Americans continue to play a crucial role in the growth and success of the United States,\u201d said Sen.
