WASHINGTON – Arizona senior Senator Kyrsten Sinema released the following statement supporting Congresswoman Deb Haaland for Interior Secretary:
“As Arizona’s senior Senator, I evaluate all presidential nominees based on whether they are professionally qualified, whether they believe in the missions of their agencies, and whether they can be trusted to faithfully execute the law. Congresswoman Deb Haaland exceeds those criteria—and she will make history when she is sworn-in as the first Native American Interior Secretary. I am proud to support her nomination, and I am excited to work closely with her – a native Arizonan – to continue delivering results for our state.”
