The Senate Energy Committee just voted to advance David Bernhardt’s nomination to run @Interior – despite mountains of evidence that he’s more interested in working for swamp monsters like his ex-clients than protecting public lands. vice.com/en_us/article/…
I’ve already called for an investigation into David Bernhardt’s actions at @Interior. As Acting Secretary, he worked to weaken important water and wildlife protections – that benefited his old lobbying clients. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
That’s not all. A lawsuit alleges that Bernhardt’s ex oil and gas clients “began receiving sudden and dramatic windfalls only months since his swearing-in” as Deputy at @Interior. This is what happens when we let lobbyists waltz through the revolving door. latimes.com/business/hiltz…
My plan to #EndCorruptionNow would stop walking conflicts of interest like David Bernhardt from running the same agencies they used to lobby. vox.com/2018/8/21/1776…
David Bernhardt has spent his career working to pollute our environment for corporate profits. He’s on the side of Big Oil, Big Coal, and Big Ag – not the American people or public lands. When his nomination comes to the Senate floor for a vote, I’ll be voting no. #StopBernhardt
