Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert this week indicated she was interested in serving as secretary of the interior under a second Trump administration.

The Colorado lawmaker is currently seeking election to a new congressional seat in his home state, opting to leave her battleground district in favor of filling the safe-red seat of former Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo. Speaking to Native Voice One, however, Boebert expressed interest in a different possible future.

"I think Lauren Boebert needs to be the secretary of interior... President Trump, I would like to be secretary of interior," she said, according to The Hill.

"I think this is actually one of the most important agencies within the federal government," she went on. "Public lands are something that are very dear to me and I’ve spent a lot of time on our tribal lands with our chairman and our councilmembers with the Mountain Utes and the Southern Utes."

During the Trump administration, the former president was served by two men who held the office, Ryan Zinke and David Bernhardt.

Trump recently named Ohio GOP Sen. JD Vance as his running mate, though speculation abounds as to his other cabinet picks.
