The Gaggle: How much debt is too much?
Brenda Burman, the director of water policy for Salt River Project who previously worked for the U.S. Department of the Interior, has been confirmed as the nation’s first female commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
Burman, who was nominated for the post in June by President Donald Trump, was confirmed on a unanimous voice vote by the U.S. Senate on Thursday, according to the Senate record.
Burman will take the helm of an agency with nearly 5,000 employees and assist in maintaining almost 500 dams and about 330 reservoirs managed by the bureau across 17 Western states, according to a U.S Department of the Interior press release that announced her nomination this summer.
The bureau also maintains 53 hydroelectric plants in the United States.
Burman, a University of Arizona law-school graduate, previously worked for the bureau, a division of the U.S. Department of the Interior, from 2006-08, as deputy commissioner for external and intergovernmental affairs and as the deputy assistant secretary.
She also was on the staff of former U.S. Sen. John Kyl of Arizona, specializing in water and energy matters.
“?I welcome this opportunity and am thankful for the chance to serve again on the Bureau of Reclamation team,” Burman said in a prepared statement after she was nominated. “The men and woman of Reclamation have helped the West work through our most difficult water issues for over a hundred years.”
Burman had the strong backing of both of Arizona’s U.S. senators.
“Brenda brings a wealth of knowledge on federal water policy and drought conditions in the West forged through years of service at the Department of Interior,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said after she was nominated.
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., added: “Brenda Burman’s deep background in thorny Western water issues will serve her well in leading the Bureau of Reclamation.”
Burman’s background also includes working for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and the Nature Conservancy.
