Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources Advances Four Key Trump Nominees at Interior & DOE

 WASHINGTON – Today, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources voted to advance four of President Donald J. Trump's nominees for key energy and interior positions:

 

• Dr. Andrea Travnicek - Assistant Secretary of the Interior, Water & Science

• Leslie Beyer - Assistant Secretary of the Interior, Lands & Mineral Management

• Theodore Garrish - Assistant Secretary of Energy, Nuclear Energy

• Tristan Abbey - Administrator of the Energy Information Administration 
   

"<>Once confirmed, each of today's nominees will have critical responsibilities to help achieve this agenda that the American people overwhelmingly voted for last November," said Chairman Mike Lee. "<>This will, undoubtedly, require bold leadership in the face of entrenched bureaucracy and political resistance. President Trump's nominees have already demonstrated distinguished careers in their respective fields. I expect they will articulate clear ideas for leveraging their expertise to advance a policy agenda that begins to rectify the damage done under the previous administration."

 

Next Steps

The nominations now advance to the full Senate for consideration.
