Most of those killed were from his district. âThere are almost no words to express how the Boulder community is feeling in the wake of this tragedy, the congressman from Lafayette said in a statement.

The vote was close: 51-40, mostly with Republicans in opposition because they see her as a threat to fossil fuels with her strident views on using public land for resources. Colorado s Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, who have supported Haaland s nomination, missed Monday s vote because flights from Denver International Airport were canceled Sunday due to the blizzard.

Sally Jewell was picked by Barack Obama in 2013. ....
