During my service in the U.S. Senate, I have been a strong advocate for improving conditions on the Wind River Indian Reservation and throughout Indian Country. I have focused my efforts on improving housing, fixing the Indian healthcare system, and promoting employment. In 2005, I worked to pass significant changes to the Native American Housing and Self Determination Act that made Tribes eligible for numerous housing grants. In 2008, I helped shepherd Indian Healthcare Reauthorization through the Senate. I continue to work to improve on those efforts to help life in Indian Country. Doing so will improve not only life for those who live on the Wind River Indian Reservation, but for all residents of our great state.
To promote employment, I have supported tax incentives for businesses that invest on Indian Country. It is essential that, in addition to fulfilling our federal trust responsibility, we work to lower unemployment on our nation’s reservations.
