CHEYENNE, Wyo.—A conservationist from Wyoming is the new Rocky Mountain regional director for the Concord Coalition.
The Concord Coalition is a nonpartisan group that advocates cutting the federal deficit. It announced Tuesday that Paul Hansen of Jackson, Wyo. would lead its work in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North and South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.
Hansen has worked for The Nature Conservancy and the Izaak Walton League of America.
In a statement, Hansen said both fiscal reform and conservation work require long-term vision and an ability to work out differences in a civil way.
Two former U.S. senators are the co-chairs of the coalition—Republican Warren Rudman of New Hampshire and Democrat Bob Kerrey of Nebraska.
