Not everyone on this site is from the US - quite a few people aren't, actually.

True, but the article is about the American West and public lands, Zinke is at the center of much of that debate.

It's also in a UK newspaper, so it's a bit of a wash. In any event, it's not a big effort to look up.

Looks like the author is from Montana and is probably familiar with Zinke and possibly didn't consider the foreign readers.

I'm from the US and I have no idea what a Zinke is.

Preserving public lands is immeasurably more important than 99.9999% of the framework drivel posted on HN, so I'd recommend you spend 5 minutes reading up on current affairs.
