Washington, D.C.

U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today regarding the confirmation of Doug Burgum as U.S. Secretary of the Interior:
“Doug Burgum will be a great asset at the Department of the Interior. From serving as Governor of North Dakota, he understands the real-world consequences of the Department’s actions, and he knows that balance is key to safeguarding our nation’s beautiful landscapes and natural treasures. I’m particularly encouraged by Doug’s enthusiasm for restoring American energy dominance and shoring up supply chains critical to national security. Secretary Burgum’s dedication to the responsible stewardship of our public lands without threatening American prosperity and security is just what we need at the helm of the Department of the Interior.”
