WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement regarding the nomination of North Dakotan Lance Yohe to the International Joint Commission (IJC):

“Today the Senate unanimously confirmed Lance Yohe to the IJC. I urged President Trump to appoint Lance- and my Senate colleagues to support him- because of his extensive knowledge and impressive record on regional water issues, especially in the Red River Basin. I know Lance will put his years of experience to good use at the IJC, and I offer him my sincerest congratulations on being confirmed to this important post.”
