Trump taps Sgamma of Western Energy Alliance to head Bureau of Land Management
SHARE

Kathleen Sgamma, the current president of the Colorado-based Western Energy Alliance, has been nominated to lead the Bureau of Land Management, a federal agency that oversees vast amounts of publicly owned land across the country.

Sgamma, known for her advocacy for oil and gas producers, would be responsible for managing energy development on public lands, including those overseen by the U.S. Forest Service.

If confirmed, Sgamma would take over from Tracy Stone-Manning, who previously held the position after working in executive roles at the National Wildlife Federation.

President Donald Trump nominated Sgamma for the role, making her the second Coloradan to be selected by Trump to head a federal agency. Chris Wright, the CEO of Denver-based Liberty Energy, was confirmed as the energy secretary during Trump’s second term.

Sgamma’s nomination was officially announced in the Congressional Record on Tuesday, marking a significant step in the process.

Throughout her tenure at the Western Energy Alliance, Sgamma has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration’s energy and public land policies, particularly highlighting the low volume of leases issued on federal lands under the current administration. She welcomed Trump’s executive order aimed at streamlining regulations and boosting oil and gas production on public lands.

The Bureau of Land Management manages approximately 245 million acres of public lands, with a focus on multiple uses such as energy development, mining, livestock grazing, and conservation efforts.

While Sgamma’s nomination has received support from some lawmakers like U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, conservation organizations have expressed strong opposition, citing concerns about her industry ties and potential impact on public lands and wildlife.

Rachael Hamby, the policy director for the Colorado-based Center for Western Priorities, criticized Sgamma’s nomination, stating that she prioritizes oil and gas companies’ interests over those of all Americans.

Despite the mixed reactions to her nomination, Sgamma’s extensive background in the energy sector and her previous military service position her as a candidate with a diverse range of experiences and expertise.

As the confirmation process unfolds, Sgamma’s leadership at the Bureau of Land Management could have lasting implications for the management of public lands and natural resources in the United States.
