Beauprez Keeps Getting Dissed for Interior Secretary

  • 4 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols
“Both Ways” Bob Beauprez (right) is only getting one response as he campaigns for Interior Secretary.

Former Congressman and two-time gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez really wants to become Interior Secretary under President Donald Trump. The feeling is apparently not mutual.

Beauprez’s name was floated as a potential Interior choice by the Colorado Springs Gazette a few weeks ago — though the only confirmation the Gazette received was from Beauprez himself. “Both Ways Bob” has definitely been working hard trying to get on Trump’s radar, and even managed to convince the Denver Post to publish a weird backhanded endorsement for the job.

But if there is a short list for Interior Secretary, Beauprez’s name does not appear to be listed. Late last week, Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers was rumored to be Trump’s pick for Interior Secretary…until she wasn’t. McMorris-Rodgers apparently did not get the thumbs-up from Trump, and now Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke is the new favorite for the job.

All hope is not yet lost for Beauprez, however; it is not clear that Zinke actually wants the job of Interior Secretary, as Republicans had been grooming him for a potential U.S. Senate run against Democratic incumbent Jon Tester.

  1. And, it is apparently going to be Rep. Ryan Zinke for Interior. 2 years as a US Representative; 3 years as a Montana State Senator; 1 unsuccessful run to be Montana Lt. Gov.; and a bunch of experience being a Special Operator, then being an XO for Special Operations; then being the "dean" of the Special Operations training group.

    Apparently there needed to be some diversity in the Cabinet, showing non-millionaires were welcome, too.

      1. Instead the CPW is going to kill predators to "increase the deer population" despite what most biologists (and most of the public) has told it.

        Meanwhile the BLM is leasing another 16,000 acres for oil and gas, overlapping with prime habitat.
