Subject: Confirming David Bernhardt as Secretary of the Interior
Description: This vote confirms David Bernhardt as the 53rd U.S. Secretary of the Interior. Throughout his tenure as deputy secretary of the Department of Interior, Bernhardt was seen as the driving force behind aggressively implementing the Trump administration's efforts to protect property rights. Such successes include eliminating abuses of the Endangered Species Act and cutting bureaucratic red tape in the permitting process for federal lands and offshore drilling. ACU recognizes Bernhardt has fought for limited government principles and strong property rights protections throughout his career and supported this nomination.
