Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, on Friday said he supports the committee's ranking member Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah), to be the new Interior Secretary, saying he was better than other candidates because “He doesn't carry the legal baggage or conflicts.”

David Bernhardt is currently serving as acting secretary.
