Daines Urges Senate to Reject Haaland for Interior Secretary
Montana Senator Steve Daines, along with several Senators from other western states’, urged the Senate to reject Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.) as President Biden’s nominee for Secretary of the Interior.
“Representative Haaland has a very well documented and hostile record toward made in America energy; toward natural resource development; towards wildlife management and sportsmen,” said Daines. “Throughout her tenure as a Congresswoman, Representative Haaland championed the Green New Deal. She advocated for the most extreme positions, including banning all fossil fuels. She co-sponsored legislation to provide federal protections for grizzly bears for ever, without considering the science that's very clear, that supports de-listing that species and returning it back to the states just like we did with Wolves back in 2011.”
