On Tuesday, President Donald Trump is scheduled to give his first joint address to Congress since taking office in January.
In addition to lawmakers from both chambers, guests of senators and representatives will be in attendance. Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet and Rep. Joe Neguse have invited two former Forest Service employees who were among the 3,400 nationwide cuts the Trump administration made to the federal agency in February.
Jamie Werner, who most recently served as a program management specialist with the White River National Forest Supervisor’s Office in Glenwood Springs, will join Bennet, according to a news release sent by the senator’s office on Monday.
Mikayla Moors, who previously held seasonal positions with the National Park Service and started as a forestry technician with the Region 2 Timber Strike Team for the Forest Service last May, will join Neguse, an aide from his office confirmed on Monday.
