On Wednesday, while attending day 3 of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Boebert did an interview with Native Voice One in which she voiced her support for tribal sovereignty and energy projects taking place on tribal lands.
When asked who she believed should be the next Secretary of the Department of Interior, the agency tasked with handling environmental projects and building relations between the government and indigenous tribes, she seemingly threw herself into the running.
"I think Lauren Boebert needs to be the secretary of the Interior," she jokingly stated in the third person with a laugh.
"President Trump, I would like to be secretary of the Interior."
Boebert described it as "one of the most important agencies in the federal government," and shared her distaste for Deb Haaland, the current Interior Secretary under President Joe Biden.
She also advocated for drilling on tribal lands, as she believes it is the most effective way to manage it.
"I believe that that is a cleaner way to take care of the environment and extract those resources that we have been blessed with to use what’s given to us by the earth to produce this energy in a clean and efficient way, rather than just covering it up with solar panels and wind turbines," she explained.
Would Lauren Boebert be good for the role?
According to the Interior Department's website, the agency plays a role in how the US "stewards its public lands, advances clean energy projects, increases environmental protections, pursues environmental justice, and honors our nation-to-nation relationship with Tribes."
Boebert, who described herself during the interview as "pro-fossil fuels, oil and gas" with an interest "to explore nuclear," has a long history of voting against conservation and clean energy efforts, and currently holds a 0% score on her environmental record with the League of Conservation Voters.
Back in February, Boebert's fellow MAGA Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene shared that she was "particularly interested" in joining Trump's administration as Secretary of Homeland Security, as she believes "it's the top issue in the country."
