Today’s lands package will create #Arizona jobs and protect our public lands. We’ve been working to get this done for years, and today’s Senate action is a good step forward.

Tonight the Senate voted to proceed to a S.47, a #publiclands package that will permanently reauthorize #LWCF & keep #WV wild & wonderful for years to come. Conservation is commonsense & helps support our state outdoor economy.

Senators have an obligation to advise & consent on the President’s nominees. Just as I do with all nominees I will examine David Bernhardt’s record & qualifications to be Secretary of Interior. I look forward to meeting w/him & to having him appear before @EnergyDems committee

Exciting to see @ENERGY investing in cleaner energy technology research like commercial-scale capture systems on coal and natural gas power plants. Looking forward to working with @EnergyGOP on these and other exciting energy technologies.
