Public lands
Our position
Do not sell them. Western voters, including many Republicans, reject land sales and review-stripping for extraction.
Evidence
Colorado College State of the Rockies, Jan 2026: 76% of Mountain West voters oppose selling public land for housing; 70% oppose fast-tracking oil, gas, and mining by cutting reviews.
