This week, the U.S. Senate confirmed Governor Doug Burgum of North Dakota as the Secretary of the Department of the Interior. In response to this confirmation, Bruce Westerman, Chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources, shared his thoughts.
Westerman stated: "Congratulations to Governor Burgum on his confirmation as Secretary of the Interior. I look forward to working with him and President Trump to undo the damage caused by the previous administration’s radical eco-agenda, unleash American energy dominance and wisely steward America's rich natural resources to strengthen our great nation."
Burgum's confirmation marks a significant appointment in the Department of the Interior under President Trump's administration.
