TREE NEWS update: McKenna Skeeters will move to the White House National Energy Dominance Council on Monday, focusing on U.S. oil and gas infrastructure, a White House official said. She previously served as chief of staff at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Her arrival follows the earlier departures of Brittany Kelm, who handled domestic oil and gas infrastructure and international affairs, and Peter Lake, who oversaw electricity policy on the council.
McKenna Skeeters to Join White House National Energy Dominance Council
Skeeters' FERC chief-of-staff background lands squarely on the council's oil and gas infrastructure portfolio, a slot left open after Kelm's exit — and she arrives alongside a broader staff turnover that also took out electricity policy oversight. For markets, the signal is continuity of personnel focus on midstream and permitting-adjacent matters rather than any stated policy shift, since the item discloses no agenda. Whether the council rebuilds its electricity bench or concentrates on oil and gas is the open question worth watching.
