Heinrich Votes To Confirm Bureau Of Land Management Nominee In Senate Energy And Natural Resources Committee

"Westerners know that the only way to solve natural resources challenges is to work with people from all walks of life and with diverse perspectives. Stone-Manning has worked with ranchers and conservation advocates, hunters and mountain bikers, and unions and Tribal leaders, making her well-suited to lead the BLM. She has earned broad support, and I am confident she will be confirmed as BLM director very soon so that she can get to work in this important role," said Heinrich.
