“Mike Connor is going to make a terrific Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation.  I’m delighted that President Obama has announced his intent to nominate someone who not only has an outstanding background in water policy, but also has real depth in energy issues.  Few people are as good as Mike in working with stakeholders while protecting the public interest.  Mike will leave big shoes to fill on the Senate Energy Committee staff, but I look forward to working closely with him in his new role.”
