Oil Change International Response to Deb Haaland’s historic confirmation as Secretary of the Interior
WASHINGTON, DC This evening, Deb Haaland is expected to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Secretary of the Interior, becoming the first Native American cabinet secretary in U.S. history. In response,
David Turnbull, Strategic Communications Director at Oil Change International, released the following statement:
“The confirmation of Deb Haaland as Secretary of the Interior is a tremendous win for Indigenous communities, the waters, parks, and lands across our country, and the climate. Deb Haaland is a proven climate champion, and will usher in a new era of climate leadership in the Department of the Interior, reversing the tide of the last four years of dirty energy policies enacted by the Trump administration.
