BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke has been sworn in as Secretary of Interior, making him the first person from the Treasure State to serve in a White House cabinet.
The 55-year-old former Navy Seal from Whitefish resigned his seat as Montana's only member of the House following Wednesday's 68-31 confirmation vote in the Senate, setting up a special election.
Zinke was an early supporter of Republican President Donald Trump and shares the new administration's goal of increased domestic energy production.
