""It is a great pleasure to see my good friend Governor Burgum confirmed as Secretary of the Interior. His experience will provide a much-needed western state perspective to the Department and its agencies, which will stand in stark contrast to the unlawful power grabs Wyoming has weathered over the past four years. I look forward to collaborating with him on Wyoming’s energy resources, endangered species, resource management plans and many other of Wyoming’s highest priorities."
