Sullivan Voices Support for Interior Secretary Nominee Bernhardt
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) released the following statement in support of acting Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt, nominated today by President Donald Trump to lead the department on a permanent basis.
“David Bernhardt is an excellent choice to be our next Secretary of the Interior,” Senator Dan Sullivan said. “He is a strong advocate for the goal of energy dominance, and will help facilitate Alaska’s role in that goal. During his years of private practice and leadership positions at the Interior Department during both the Trump and Bush Administrations, he has gained a deep understanding of Alaska’s unique land issues – including ANILCA. He has also shown a commitment to the Interior Department’s trust responsibility to Alaska Natives. I believe that Mr. Bernhardt will be a great Secretary of the Interior for my state, and for our country.”
