Lauren Boebert, other CO reps call to reject Biden's Bureau of Land Management pick if she moves HQ to DC
Fox News
Three Republican Colorado representatives are calling on the state's two senators to reject President Biden's nominee to lead to Bureau of Land Management if she does not commit to keeping its headquarters in Colorado.
"If the Junior Senator from Michigan can hold up eight Department of Defense nominations to secure a victory for his state, then one of Colorado’s two U.S. Senators can hold up the BLM Director nomination to secure a victory for Colorado," Boebert said in a statement, referencing Democratic Michigan Sens. Gary Peters' and Debbie Stabenow's decisions to place procedural holds on certain Pentagon nominees, which they have since lifted. Hickenlooper and Bennet "have the power to put Colorado first and leverage the Biden administration into keeping the Bureau of Land Management’s headquarters and existing personnel spots in Grand Junction," Boebert continued, adding that she has "appreciated their efforts and working with them on this bicameral and bipartisan effort."More Related News
