On November 5, 2025, the White House announced several key nominations sent to the Senate for confirmation. Daniel E. Burrows from Colorado has been nominated to be the Assistant Attorney General, succeeding Aaron Reitz, who resigned. Stevan Pearce from New Mexico is nominated to be the Director of the Bureau of Land Management, taking over from Tracy Stone-Manning, who also resigned.

Additionally, Douglas Weaver from Maryland has been nominated to serve as a Member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, filling the remainder of a term that will expire on June 30, 2026, previously held by Annie Caputo. These nominations reflect the administration’s effort to appoint qualified individuals to critical roles within the federal government. Each nominee will require approval from the Senate before taking office, ensuring their qualifications and readiness for service are thoroughly assessed.

This move emphasizes the administration’s priority to maintain functional leadership within essential regulatory and legal departments. The successful confirmation of these nominees will help advance the administration’s policy goals and manage crucial aspects of federal oversight. In light of recent resignations, these nominations aim to restore stability within the involved government departments.
