The Energy and Natural Resources Committee will hold an impromptu vote in the Capitol today to advance six nominees to serve in the departments of the Interior and Energy to the Senate floor.
The vote will take place in the Capitol, potentially in an effort to move the nominees directly to the floor soon after. The committee will assemble soon after a full floor vote on Energy Department nominee Dan Brouillette.
The committee is expected to advance nominees Mark Wesley Menezes, to be undersecretary of DOE; David Jonas, for DOE's general counsel; Paul Dabbar, to be DOE undersecretary for science; Brenda Burman, who would lead Interior's Bureau of Reclamation; Susan Combs, to be Interior's assistant secretary of policy management and budget; and Douglas Domenech, to be assistant secretary of insular affairs at Interior.
The committee vote had been planned for July 27, but Chairman Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) postponed it.
WHAT'S NEXT: The committee will vote early this afternoon in a brief session in the Capitol. Leaders from both parties are continuing to negotiate over what nominees will be confirmed by the full Senate before it adjourns for recess as soon as today.
