Washington – Wyoming Congresswoman and House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) issued the following statement after Katharine MacGregor was named the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Interior:

“Kate is a proven friend of the West who fully understands and supports the principle of multiple-use and sustained-yield of public lands. In her new role, she will be an asset to the country and someone Wyoming can count on to support President Trump’s agenda of increasing access and restoring local control of public lands in the West.”
