Jeff Bingaman: “Thanks to Senators Bingaman and Udall for sponsoring the legislation holding the Wilderness Field Hearings in Las Cruces…”

I wouldn't be here without it.

He knows the crucial role that Congress plays in setting policy and in overseeing how that policy is carried out.

I'm honored to be here with Senator Udall to strongly support the nomination of Mike Connor for the position of Deputy Secretary of the Department of the Interior.

I would certainly like to thank Senator Bingaman, who just retired just very recently, for the strong support that he has shown me over the years, and including support for this nomination.
