Washington, D.C. - After the House Natural Resources Committee launched an ethics investigation into Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future, issued the following statement:

“For more than two years, the Biden Administration has acted without any serious congressional oversight and we have all suffered the disastrous consequences. Secretary Haaland’s relentless crusade against American energy producers knows no limits, and the public deserves to know about any financial connections she stood to gain from her family employment. Chairman Westerman deserves great credit for this fact-finding mission into potential influence peddling driving the anti-energy agenda. We are hopeful other congressional committees will follow suit and shed more light on those pulling the strings behind the scenes of the Biden Administration.”

At issue is any connection between Haaland’s decision restricting oil and gas production on the outskirts of Chaco Culture National Historical Park and her daughter’s employment at Pueblo Action Alliance, an extremist environmental group. The younger Haaland, Somah, made headlines when members of Pueblo Action Alliance were arrested for a “non-violent” protest outside the Stewart Lee Udall Main Interior building in Washington D.C..

Power The Future is a 501c4 non-profit dedicated to fighting for American energy workers.
