When I get to Congress, I’ll fight to implement real and effective land management policies in order to protect those communities and businesses who have suffered the most as a result of Washington, D.C.’s decades-long failures.
Fight to implement effective federal land management policies.
Occurrences
Evidence
The House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries held an oversight hearing on the federal procurement and permitting process for Bureau of Reclamation projects. Chair Harriet Hageman said modernizing permitting and reducing regulatory burdens are critical to proactive water management.
Interior announced it was proposing to rescind the BLM Public Lands Rule and said the change would restore multiple-use access, support grazing, energy, timber, and recreation, and eliminate unnecessary barriers and permitting delays.
Assessments
Hageman has actively fought for federal land and resource management changes in office, including chairing oversight focused on permitting and regulatory burdens for Bureau of Reclamation projects. The Interior proposal to rescind the BLM Public Lands Rule is aligned with her policy position, but the evidence does not show that she personally delivered or materially caused a completed federal land-management policy implementation. The promise is broad and action-oriented, so documented advocacy and oversight merit partial credit, but not full delivery absent enacted legislation, finalized executive implementation, or a clearly attributable completed policy outcome.
