Still Seated

Doug Burgum is the 55th Secretary of the Interior and the former governor of North Dakota, where he built an image as a business-friendly conservative and energy booster. Before politics, he was a software executive tied to Great Plains and later Microsoft. His controversy profile is less personal-scandal driven than some others in Trumpworld and more rooted in policy: he has been a central figure in the administration’s push for expanded drilling, faster permitting, offshore-wind crackdowns, and a broader fossil-fuel-first overhaul of Interior policy.
