Stauber draws fire for opposing Biden nominee
Rep. Deb Halaand is President Biden s pick for Interior post, which would make her the first Native American cabinet member. Rep. Stauber opposes her appointment Author: John Croman Updated: 11:43 PM CST January 22, 2021
MINNEAPOLIS A Minnesota congressman s decision to drum up opposition to one of President Joe Biden s cabinet nominees did not go unnoticed by Minnesota s Native American leaders.
That s because Rep. Pete Stauber of Duluth, the Republican who represents the 8th District in Congress, has taken aim at fellow Rep. Debra Haaland of New Mexico. She s President Biden s pick for Secretary of the Interior. If confirmed by the Senate she would be the first Indigenous person to hold a cabinet position.
