"Interior: Split Panel Sends Bernhardt Nomination To Full Senate"

"The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee today approved David Bernhardt as Interior deputy secretary in a 14-9 vote, paving the way for his confirmation by the full Senate.

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Sen. Angus King of Maine — an independent who caucuses with the Democrats — joined all 12 Republicans on the panel to advance the nomination, which several environmental groups oppose because of Bernhardt's career as an oil and gas lobbyist.

The panel's ranking Democrat, Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington, criticized Bernhardt's nomination today, reiterating her concerns with the revolving-door nature of Bernhardt's career."
