OAKLAND, CA — Today, California Environmental Voters (EnviroVoters) released the following statement in response to the Senate voting to advance Steve Pearce to direct the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
Statement from Aaron McCall, Federal Advocacy Coordinator, California Environmental Voters:
“Putting Steve Pearce in charge of the Bureau of Land Management is like handing the keys to our public lands to the highest bidder. This agency is responsible for 245 million acres of shared land and Pearce has built a career selling pieces of it off, gutting national monuments, and cozying up to Big Oil. If confirmed, he would be an inside partner to corporate polluters who have made dismantling public land protections their mission. At a moment when Americans are demanding affordable, clean energy, we thank Senator Padilla for voting against putting corporate polluters over people.”
