President Obama has tapped Sally Jewell to replace Ken Salazar as secretary of the interior. Jewell’s work history includes stints as an oil services company executive and as a commercial banker. She is also known as an avid campaigner for conservation and the outdoors. Obama unveiled her nomination on Wednesday at the White House.

President Obama: “She is an expert on the energy and climate issues that are going to shape our future. She is committed to building our nation-to-nation relationship with Indian Country. She knows the link between conservation and good jobs. She knows that there’s no contradiction between being good stewards of the land and our economic progress, that in fact those two things need to go hand in hand.”
