Why it Matters
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is moving forward with Kevin Lilly's nomination to be Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife at the Department of Interior. A business meeting scheduled for Wednesday will advance the Texas-based nominee, following a June hearing on his qualifications.
Background on the Lilly Nomination
Lilly faced questions during the June hearing about his approach to permitting reform and national parks management, priorities that drew scrutiny from committee leadership. The nomination process itself has generated little direct member engagement in the weeks leading up to the business meeting. Senator Shelley Moore Capito chairs the committee, with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse serving as Ranking Member.
