Oil and gas advocate named by Trump to lead agency that manages federal lands
Wednesday, 12 February 2025 () President Donald Trump has nominated a longtime oil and gas industry representative to oversee an agency that manages a quarter-billion acres of public land concentrated in western states. Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Colorado-based Western Energy Alliance, was named Bureau of Land Management director. She’s been a leading voice for the fossil fuel industry and wants fewer drilling restrictions on public lands that produce about 10% of U.S. oil and gas. The bureau went four years without a confirmed director during Trump's first term. Its headquarters were transferred to Colorado under Trump then returned to Washington under former President Joe Biden.
