Denver-The Mile High City
Ken Salazar, a fifth generation Coloradan, was confirmed as the
50th Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior on
January 20, 2009, in a unanimous vote by the U.S. Senate.  
Prior to his confirmation, Salazar served as Colorado's 35th
United States Senator. As a U.S. Senator, Salazar was a leader
creating and implementing a vision for a renewable energy
economy that is less dependent on foreign oil.  He was
involved in every major bipartisan legislative effort on energy
since 2005, including helping craft the Renewable Fuels,
Consumer Protection, and Energy Efficiency Act of 2007.  
Salazar also tackled the challenge of providing affordable
health care by fighting to broaden the Children's Health
Insurance Program and by working to improve health care for
older Americans

Colorados' Ken Salazar-
US Department of the Interior
Secretary Salazar's family settled in the American West before the United States was a
country. After settling in New Mexico four centuries ago, his family planted roots in
Colorado's San Luis Valley, where they have farmed and ranched the same land for five
generations.  Raised on a remote ranch without electricity or telephone, Salazar learned
the values of hard work, family, and faith.
Thanks to his parents’ lessons, he and his seven
brothers and sisters all became first generation college graduates.

A farmer for more than thirty years, Salazar was a partner with his family in El Rancho
Salazar. He and his wife have owned and operated small businesses, including a Dairy
Queen and radio stations in Pueblo and Denver.
