Heinrich Expresses Support For BLM Director Nominee

In a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing to consider pending nominations, U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich expressed support for Tracy Stone-Manning’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Senator Heinrich noted that Stone-Manning’s experience in Tribal issues, land conservation, water settlements, and wildlife conservation offers a return to qualified and competent management of America’s public lands. The BLM has been without a confirmed director for almost four and a half years.
