BREAKING NEWS: Trump taps Arizona official to lead Reclamation
President Donald Trump has quietly nominated a veteran Arizona water official to lead the Bureau of Reclamation. Ted Cooke, who spent more than two decades at the Central Arizona Project (CAP) — the state’s largest water delivery agency, which distributes Colorado River water to Maricopa, Pinal and Pima counties — would become Reclamation’s next commissioner if confirmed by the Senate. Trump submitted Cooke’s nomination to Congress on Monday.
