I support hunting and fishing and I support the outdoor economy. I think it's important to our country.

Sir, I will always follow the law.

I am all for that. I mean, we are all stewards of this land...

It's important for local communities to weigh in on important decisions.

I feel that I am part of a team, and if I am confirmed, it's working with all of the other Cabinet Secretaries as well as with President Biden and acting as a team.

I know that the partnerships that you talk about between states, between Tribal Nations, between local communities--those are very important for all of us to find the solutions and make sure that those species are there so that your…

I would absolutely consult with tribes when issues are affecting them.

If I'm confirmed, I will absolutely consult with you.

The 30 by 30 initiative that President Biden has embraced will be an opportunity for so many Americans to participate in conserving that amount of land and water.

I think there are a lot of workers who want to have jobs of the future.

I will do everything I can to help President Biden in his Build Back Better plan to create millions of jobs.

I feel like in the short-term, hopefully, their jobs have not been affected.

I know that there are a lot of people in this country who care deeply about our environment and that is one area that folks have been passionate about.

It would be nice to get those done.

I promise you I will follow the law. I know how important these issues are to you and to the people in your state.

This is all of our country. This is our mother.

I think in 2021, every single American should have an opportunity to have safe and healthy drinking water. This is a human right, in my opinion.

I think the goal is to restore species.

It does not affect tribal lands, it just affects public lands, the pause on the leases.

Wilderness designations still provide access to hunting.

We should diversify our funding streams for education and not just rely on one.

We need to care as much about the environment as we do about the fossil fuel infrastructure.

I support President Biden. I think he's thought deeply about these things and I think that he cares deeply about our environment and I do as well.

I know that water is the lifeblood of the West and the Southwest.

I think climate change is something that folks are realizing, you know, it's an all-hands-on-deck effort.
