"""As Solicitor, Deputy Secretary and Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior, David was a talented and diligent public administrator. His willingness to share his thoughts and experiences of driving change within the executive branch is to be embraced. They will contribute to the debate of precisely how policymakers can work to deliver better results for the American people."" --U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan. ""Secretary Bernhardt is one of the most astute experts in administrative, environmental, and natural resource policy I have ever worked with. I had the privilege of hosting him in rural North Dakota where he listened to landowners and farmers discuss the overreaches of the Fish and Wildlife Service. Standing in the heart of the prairie potholes, he was blunt yet constructive and everyone left the meeting better informed and hopeful some progress could be made. David's candor in this book is a refreshing reminder of basic civics: officials elected by the public determine policy and the bureaucracy should follow their lead."" --U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer. ""In a Washington, D.C., filled with officeholders who leave no mark, David Bernhardt stood up--and stood out. His stewardship of American lands and heritage as President Trump's Secretary of the Interior was marked by a drive to transform his Department on the American people's behalf... I can't think of anyone better placed to explore, explain, and advance the America First Agenda.""--Brooke Rollins, President and CEO of the America First Policy Institute. ""David Bernhardt is an effective public administrator who strove to make improvements during his tenure in the executive branch. His willingness to provide an insider's perspective on driving change during the Trump administration, as well as lessons for future political appointees, should be welcomed."" --Matt Schlapp, Chairman, Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC)."
