I believe that if we do these things in a responsible manner and protect the health and safety of workers, I see us moving forward.

I believe we all have a stake in the future of our country and I believe that every one of us--Republicans, Democrats and Independents--shares a common bond, our love for the outdoors and a desire and obligation to keep our nation livable…

Our public lands belong to all of us and taxpayers deserve to have a fair return.

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

I would like to say is, if I'm confirmed as Secretary, of course I would follow the law on all of these things.

If confirmed, I will work my heart out for everyone--the families of fossil fuel workers who helped build our country, ranchers and farmers who care deeply for their lands, communities with legacies of toxic pollution, people of color…

President Biden has just put a pause on new leases--not valid, existing leases and I don't know when that review will be finished.

I am really glad, Congresswoman, that you noted the concern regarding the missing and murdered indigenous women and Children.

I think the goal is to restore species.

It's the job of the Federal Government to live up to the trust responsibility.

I look forward, again, to discussing this issue with you.

If I'm confirmed as Secretary, I would be very proud to move President Biden's Build Back Better plan forward.

I agree wholeheartedly that we need the resources to make sure we're protecting the health and safety of our fellow Americans.

It would be nice to get those done.

I think we have--with two bills passing, that's the tip of the iceberg.

That's absolutely a priority of President Biden, his Build Back Better plan.

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 will ensure that the Interior Department's decisions are based on science. I will honor the sovereignty of the Tribal Nations and recognize their part in America's story.

I will tend to support President Biden's positions and if I am confirmed as Secretary, it is his agenda that I would seek to move forward.

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 intend to make sure that you are always going to be part of this important conversation.

I pledge to vote against all new fossil fuel infrastructure and to fight instead for 100 percent clean energy.

Congress is a co-equal branch of government.

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

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