Burgum and Wright received broad bipartisan support, with the committee approving their nominations by votes of 18-2 and 15-5, respectively. The nominations now go to the full Senate for consideration, and Hoeven is working to secure a floor vote for both Burgum and Wright in the next week to 10 days.<\/p><p>\u201cIn order to implement an energy policy that will actually serve the interests of our nation and bring down prices for American consumers, President Trump needs to have his team in place. Doug Burgum and Chris Wright are central to these efforts, and by securing committee approval, we have brought them all the closer to fulfilling their essential leadership roles at the departments of Interior and Energy, as well as the National Energy Council,\u201d said Hoeven. \u201cAt the same time, we will continue our efforts in the Senate to advance the policies needed to unleash the full potential of our country\u2019s abundant energy resources, including the vast taxpayer-owned oil, gas and coal reserves on federal lands.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-gallery-1850-103 bde-gallery\">\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ee-gallery ee-gallery--default ee-gallery--grid ee-gallery-- ee-gallery--lightbox ee-gallery-- ee-gallery--caption- ee-gallery--caption-none ee-gallery--ratio\">\n                  \n      <a class=\"ee-gallery-item ee-gallery-item--image ee-gallery-item--single\" href=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/NativeVote\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DougBurgumJohnHoeven.jpg\"  data-sub-html=\"\" data-category=\"1\"                  data-lg-size=\"1638-2048\"\n\n      >\n        <figure class=\"ee-gallery-item-figure\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"breakdance-image-object\" src=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/NativeVote\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DougBurgumJohnHoeven-819x1024.jpg\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/NativeVote\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DougBurgumJohnHoeven.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/indianz.com\/NativeVote\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DougBurgumJohnHoeven-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/indianz.com\/NativeVote\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DougBurgumJohnHoeven-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/indianz.com\/NativeVote\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DougBurgumJohnHoeven-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/indianz.com\/NativeVote\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DougBurgumJohnHoeven-1229x1536.jpg 1229w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1638px) 100vw, 1638px\" alt=\"Doug Burgum and John Hoeven\">\n          \n                      <figcaption class=\"ee-gallery-item-caption\">\n              Secretary of the Interior nominee Doug Burgum poses with Sen.
