(WASHINGTON, DC) — Senator John Hoeven says Gov. Doug Burgum’s nomination for Interior Secretary is ‘an excellent choice.’
“Doug can have a real impact for our country and North Dakota in this role, and I look forward to working with him. He has served the people of North Dakota well during his time as governor and is a tremendous advocate for our state,” Hoeven said. “Coming from North Dakota, Doug has the right background to lead the Department of the Interior and oversee our public lands and natural resources in the right way. He has been a great partner as we’ve worked to build North Dakota’s energy leadership and in this role can help to not only restore American energy security, but make America energy dominant.”
