May 14, 2025

WASHINGTON – Today, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources voted to advance three of President Trump's nominees for key positions at the Departments of Energy and the Interior:

 

  1. Mr. William Doffermyre - Solicitor of the Department of the Interior.
  2. Ms. Catherine Jereza - Assistant Secretary of Energy (Electricity)
  3. Mr. Kyle Haustveit - Assistant Secretary of Energy (Fossil)

 

“We on this committee are processing nominees more than three times faster than the last Congress.

And we’re moving at a breakneck pace because America cannot afford to wait, and our leadership on the world stage cannot be taken for granted.”
