(BISMARCK, ND) – The current North Dakota Governor says his predecessor ‘will help usher in a new era of U.S. energy dominance that benefits all Americans with reliable, affordable power.’
Armstrong made the comments after former Governor Doug Burgum was confirmed by the United States Senate as Secretary of the Department of the Interior. As Interior Secretary, Burgum will lead the U.S. Department of the Interior, a Cabinet-level agency that manages the nation’s natural and cultural resources.
