The League’s Official Statement on Doug Burgum’s Confirmation as Interior Secretary

“Trump’s allies are ready to gamble away Alaska’s wild places for profits that don’t exist, and Doug Burgum will just be another rubber stamp for Trump’s reckless energy agenda. That isn’t the leadership our public lands need,” said Kristen Miller, executive director of Alaska Wilderness League. “Burgum’s loyalty to Trump ignores both the economic realities and the climate crisis we’re facing today, especially in Alaska.”
