Geologist and former environmental consultant Peter Maggiore was appointed Monday as New Mexico's new Environment Department secretary.
Maggiore, 41, succeeds his former boss, Mark Weidler, who died in a car crash July 16 at age 67.
Gov. Gary Johnson made the appointment, which is subject to confirmation by the state Senate.
"The circumstances under which I've been asked to serve have been absolutely tragic," Maggiore said.
