The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee will question more nominees for the Interior and Energy departments this week as other picks await action on the floor.
The panel will hold a confirmation hearing on William Doffermyre to become Interior’s top lawyer. Democrats are likely to question the energy industry executive’s past defending the oil and gas industry.
For DOE, the committee will hear from Catherine Jereza to become assistant secretary for electricity and Kyle Haustveit to become assistant secretary for fossil energy.

Jereza worked for the Edison Electric Institute, which represents utilizes, and is already at the department as an adviser. Haustveit has been a longtime executive for Oklahoma-based Devon Energy.
