Bennet Statement on President Trump’s Nominee to Lead Bureau of Land Management

Dec 16, 2025|Press Releases
Washington, D.C.— Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet issued the following statement on President Trump’s nomination of Steve Pearce to lead the Bureau of Land Management:
“Steve Pearce’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Land Management is an insult to Colorado and anyone who cares about the lands that sustain our economy and Western way of life.
“Pearce’s views on public lands are completely out of touch with Colorado’s values. He will be the first to sell off our public lands, promote Trump’s misguided ‘drill baby drill’ policies, and demolish the protections that ensure our kids and grandkids will benefit from public lands as we do now.
“He is unfit for this position and a threat to Colorado. For these reasons, I will oppose his nomination.”
