Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, withdrew her name from consideration to serve as director of the Bureau of Land Management. 

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, made the announcement Thursday during what was to be a hearing to consider Sgamma, as well as two other nominees for positions in the Department of Energy and the Department of Interior. 

“I’ve been informed this morning that Miss Kathleen Sgamma has withdrawn her consideration to be the director of the Bureau of Land Management at the Department of the Interior,” Lee said.

In a statement, The Hill reported, Sgamma said that it was an honor that President Donald Trump nominated her for the position and that she would continue to support Trump’s “unleashing American energy” agenda in the private sector.
