SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The Bureau of Land Management in New Mexico has a new state director.

Jesse Juen was sworn in Thursday during a special ceremony at the BLM's New Mexico state office in Santa Fe.

Juen will oversee the management of more than 13.4 million acres of public lands and 26 million acres of federal oil, natural gas, and minerals where about 855 employees work in New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

Juen, who grew up in El Paso, began his career as a wildlife biological aid with the Forest Service before joining the BLM as a wildlife biologist in New Mexico's Roswell area office. He has held positions throughout New Mexico and Arizona, and served as deputy assistant director for the BLM's National Landscape Conservation System office in Washington, D.C.
