Ms. MacGregor brings a deep understanding of the Interior Department’s mission and portfolio, including the range of possibilities our natural resources hold for the nation’s future. She is also well equipped to drive Interior’s work to advance U.S. interests through appropriate management of our energy resources and address America’s rising electricity demand through an ‘all-of-the-above’ energy strategy that includes offshore wind.
