The United States Senate has confirmed Lee Zeldin as the 17th Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The confirmation vote concluded with a tally of 56 in favor and 42 against.
Senator Kevin Cramer, a Republican from North Dakota and member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, expressed his support for Zeldin's nomination. He stated, “Lee is primed and ready to slash the mountains of backwards regulations at the EPA to restore primacy of states and common sense.” Senator Cramer added, “I look forward to working with him as he brings some sanity back to EPA and makes the bureaucracy work for the people it purportedly serves.”
Zeldin's confirmation marks a significant moment for the EPA as he steps into this leadership role.
