WASHINGTON DC, DC, UNITED STATES, January 31, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The United States Hispanic Business Council (USHBC) celebrates the confirmation of former North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as United States Secretary of the Interior. A proven business leader and two-term governor of a leading-energy producing state, Secretary Burgum will lead with a pragmatic and forward-thinking approach that benefits American small businesses and families nationwide.

Javier Palomarez, USHBC President and CEO, released the following statement:

“Governor Burgum is a proven leader with a deep understanding of business, economic development, and energy policy. His experience as an entrepreneur and governor of one of America’s top energy-producing states, along with his strong ties to rural America through family farm partnerships and his board membership for his family’s longstanding agribusibesss—Arthur Companies—make him uniquely qualified to balance responsible energy production with conservation efforts. His leadership will be instrumental in ensuring America’s energy security and maintaining environmental stewardship, all while we remain a net exporter of energy.”

Javier continued by saying:

“Governor Burgum has long been a champion of traditional energy production, recognizing its role in powering our economy and supporting small businesses, with a keen understanding of our country’s need to remain energy independent. At the same time, he has led efforts to decarbonize fossil fuels, demonstrating that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. His endorsement of an all-of-the-above energy strategy ensures that America remains a leader in oil, gas, and renewable energy—a balanced approach that fosters economic growth and energy independence.”

The USHBC stands ready to work with Secretary Burgum to expand responsible energy production, protecting America’s vital natural resources, and ensuring that renewable energy projects—such as hydrogen, wind, and solar—can develop unhindered, fostering a truly competitive and diverse energy future.
