The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the Public Lands Council announced their support for President Trump’s nomination of former Congressman Steve Pearce to serve as the Director of the Bureau of Land Management. “Having represented New Mexico in Congress and the State House of Representatives for decades, former Congressman Pearce understands the important role that public lands play across the West,” said Kaitlynn Glover, the NCBA Executive Director of Natural Resources and the PLC Executive Director. She also said Pierce’s experience makes him thoroughly qualified to lead the Bureau and tackle the issues on federal lands that ranchers are facing. “Ranchers need a permanent BLM director, NCBA and PLC members support his nomination, and we’re asking for swift confirmation,” Glover added. Pearce, a seven-term congressman, is a former fighter pilot, businessman, and supporter of oil and gas development on public lands. He ran for governor of New Mexico in 2018.
