Karen Budd-Falen, a Wyoming property rights lawyer, is anticipated to head back to the Department of the Interior (DOI) to serve again under the Trump administration.
In a report by the Cowboy State Daily, Budd-Falen told the outlet she was asked to serve as DOI’s associate deputy secretary. Budd-Falen primarily represents private property owners and ranching and farming groups at her law firm, Budd-Falen Law Offices. She previously served under President Donald Trump’s administration as deputy solicitor for wildlife and parks, and in the Reagan administration as special assistant to the assistant secretary for land and minerals management.
