Hi all—

The Center for Investigative Reporting has a story out that reports that Katharine MacGregor played a key role in fast-tracking a fracking permit for Cimarex Energy after lobbying by the IPAA. Below is some social media guidance highlighting this story ahead of her confirmation hearing tomorrow:

The oil & gas industry shouldn't be just a lobbyist's phone call away from getting their way, but that's what happened with Katharine MacGregor. She is just another example of @SecBernhardt's #CultureOfCorruption! http://bit.ly/32ayTpX #StopBernhardt

Katharine MacGregor fits right in at @SecBernhardt's @Interior: a friend of industry who prioritizes polluter profits over the American people & our #PublicLands. The Senate must reject her nomination and the #CultureOfCorruption at DOI! http://bit.ly/32ayTpX #StopBernhardt

📞➡️💰
When polluters want something done quickly, @SecBernhardt & Katharine MacGregor are just a phone call away. It's time to stop this #CultureOfCorruption & reject MacGregor's nomination. http://bit.ly/32ayTpX #StopBernhardt
