"Republicans on the Senate Energy Committee on Tuesday grilled Tracy Stone-Manning, President Biden's pick to lead the Bureau of Land Management, questioning her on partisanship and her personal finances.

While Democrats praised Stone-Manning for her record on issues of importance to the western U.S., ranking member John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) expressed concerns that she “does not fit the bill” to direct the bureau.

“Her career has been defined by her support for policies that restrict multiple-use activities on public lands,” Barrasso said in his opening statement, also citing her opposition to moving Bureau of Land Management headquarters to Colorado."
