WASHINGTON DC (4/9/25) – The Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources held a vote today to consider the nominations of Kate MacGregor to be Deputy Secretary of the Interior and James Danly to be Deputy Secretary of Energy. Both nominees were approved by the committee, and their nominations now move to the Senate floor for a final vote.
Tom Pyle, President of the American Energy Alliance, issued the following statement:
“Congratulations to Kate and James on their nominations and passage out of committee. They are both exceptionally qualified for these positions, and our country will be well served by their confirmations.
“We are looking forward to working with Kate at the Department of Interior. She is a proven expert when it comes to public lands issues, natural resource development, and the need for efficiency and bringing regulations in line with the law. She knows how to get things done, and we are pleased to see her return for this important role.
“As former Commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, James Danley was committed to FERC’s mission of ensuring reliable, safe, and secure electricity at just and reasonable rates. Mr. Danley also fought hard against attempts by the Biden administration to halt the approval of natural gas pipelines.
“Both Kate and James are excellent additions to President Trump’s energy team. We look forward to seeing the Senate confirm their nominations and working with them for the good of America’s energy future.”
