Idaho Congressman Raul Labrador issued this statement this afternoon on his meeting today at Trump Tower with President-elect Donald Trump:

“President-elect Trump and I had an excellent conversation this afternoon about issues critical to Idaho and the West. We discussed how we can work together to better manage our federal lands and unlock our country’s vast natural resources. He and I agree that we need to listen to the people closest to the land and restore multiple-use for the benefit of all Americans. After our meeting, I remain confident that the President-elect shares our values and that his administration will be a friend to the people of Idaho.”
