Tom Udall Former United States Senator
By now, you all should know I like my men on the husk+ side. But there is something about Udall makes me want... how shall I put this in a clean way.
Accept him. You know what I’m talking about. Maybe it’s the boots.
President Donald Trump's last-minute push to allow drilling in a pristine part of Alaska's Arctic will be an early target for the next administration, according to Senator Tom Udall, a contender to lead the Interior Department under Joe Biden.
Excerpt from this story from Reuters:
President Donald Trump’s last-minute push to allow drilling in a pristine part of Alaska’s Arctic will be an early target for the next administration, according to Senator Tom Udall, a contender to lead the Interior Department under Joe Biden.
The New Mexico Democrat was speaking of the Trump administration’s plan to pull off a sale of oil drilling leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge before Biden, who wants to ban new drilling on all federal lands and waters as part of a strategy to fight climate change, becomes president on Jan. 20.
“I would expect that there would be real scrutiny and analysis of these last-minute kinds of deals that are being done,” Udall said in an interview, adding that he expects they could be overturned by the courts. “That’s an issue that needs to be looked at on Day One.”
The Interior Department, which manages federal and tribal lands, last week issued a request to energy companies to identify tracts in the refuge to be offered for sale. That puts the administration on a timeline that could bring a lease auction by mid-January, only days before Biden takes office.
Udall, a long-time member of Congress who is retiring from the Senate chamber early next year - and the son of former Interior chief Stewart Udall - is one of several people in the running to lead Interior under Biden, he confirmed.
He said he would accept the post if offered.
Udall, however, faces stiff competition from his fellow New Mexican, Representative Deb Haaland, who here would become the first Native American presidential cabinet member if tapped to lead Interior - a federal agency with huge oversight of Indian country.
The notion that we’re all consuming a credit card a week turns the stomachs of Republicans just as much as it does Democrats. 'We don’t know the human health impacts,' he says. 'But we can only imagine they aren’t good.'

Handsome with a nice smile. Sure he's not as big as I like, but I can always work with the face. Politics seems to run through his family as he's the son of former Arizona Congressman and Interior Secretary Stewart Lee Udall, nephew of Arizona Congressman Morris Udall, and first cousin of former Colorado U.S. Senator Mark Udall, double second cousin of former Oregon U.S. Senator Gordon Smith, and second cousin of Utah U.S. Senator Mike Lee. And like Tom, all of them can catch a dick like Tom.
