Hunting, Fishing Rights Group Applauds Burgum Pick to Lead Dept. of the Interior

IOTR, TRA congratulate North Dakota Gov. on selection

International Order of T. Roosevelt and T. Roosevelt Action Executive Director Luke Hilgemann issued the following statement today in response to news that President Donald Trump plans to tap North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum as the next Secretary of the Department of the Interior:

“Gov. Burgum is a true champion of hunting, fishing, and conservation. Burgum is a lifelong hunter and a proud supporter of the Second Amendment. His appointment is a positive step toward ending the Biden Administration’s war on our sporting heritage and hopefully begins the process of rolling back barriers to the outdoors – like the bullet ban on major federal lands. President Trump made an excellent pick that sportsmen and women around America can be proud to support.”

Formerly known as the Shikar Safari Club International Foundation, the newly rebranded International Order of T. Roosevelt is a hunting and conservation foundation focused on proactively protecting the rights of hunters and sustaining the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.
