(Bismarck, ND) — Governor Kelly Armstrong is supporting the Senate confirmation of former Governor Doug Burgum as Secretary of the Interior. In a statement Thursday, Armstrong said Burgum’s “background in energy, tribal relations, national parks and other public lands makes him the right person at the right time to lead the Department of the Interior.” Armstrong said Burgum “will be an incredible asset to the Trump administration and, as chair of the National Energy Council, will help usher in a new era of U.S. energy dominance that benefits all Americans with reliable, affordable power.”
