President-elect will also nominate regulator Michael Regan to head Environmental Protection Agency

Joe Biden has chosen lawmaker Deb Haaland as interior secretary and will nominate regulator Michael Regan to head the Environmental Protection Agency, in two diverse and influential picks to handle crucial issues such as public lands, pollution and the climate crisis, according to leading media outlets.

Haaland, a progressive Democratic congresswoman from New Mexico since 2019, would be the first Native American cabinet secretary and one of the first Native Americans ever to serve in a US cabinet. The department’s jurisdiction covers tribal lands and vast tracts of protected American wilderness, including jewels such as Yellowstone and Yosemite national parks.
