David Bernhardt, Trump’s Department of Interior (DOI) Secretary, is now using his position as Interior Secretary to promote the interests of past clients, notably Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA). This association represents oil companies like Shell, ConocoPhillips and Marathon Oil that have multibillion dollar stakes in exploiting previously protected lands and waters. We will not stand idly by as this blatant conflict-of-interest and abuse of power imperils our public lands, climate, and wildlife. The rollbacks of public lands protections that Bernhardt green-lighted were done haphazardly and often without due process. Our climate is in a state of crisis, and some of our most iconic landscapes are at risk. That’s why we are calling on Congress to both investigate whether Interior Secretary Bernhardt violated the spirit or the letter of any ethics laws that limit federal officials’s interactions with and on behalf of former clients and investigate past clients of David Bernhardt such as the IPAA to discern whether they purposely and knowingly took advantage of their relationship with the Interior Secretary for financial gain.

Sign to oppose #DavidBernhardt’s nomination for Secretary of the Interior Department.
President Trump has nominated David Bernhardt, a veteran oil and gas lobbyist who has helped push the expansion of drilling at the Interior Department, to serve as its next secretary. The Secretary of the Interior Department plays a key role in directing the management of our public lands. Bernhardt’s confirmation would jeopardize public resources for the benefit of fossil fuel interests. Sign the petition and demand your Senator reject Bernhardt’s nomination - he is riddled with conflicts of interest and will not fight for the good of public interest.
SIGN NOW: Tell Trump and Acting Interior Secretary #DavidBernhardt that the #ArcticNationalWildlifeRefuge is NOT for sale.
