President-elect Trump has selected former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY, 1st District) to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), putting a second New Yorker and Loyalist into His forming Cabinet.
“I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected former Congressman from New York, Lee Zeldin, will be appointed to serve as The Administrator of The United States Environmental Protective Agency (EPA),” Trump said in a Written Statement.
“Lee, with a very strong legal background, has been a true fighter for America First policies,” Trump added.
Zeldin would be expected to look to Roll Back Regulations on the Environment as part of the Trump Administration, something the President signaled in His Statement.
He said Zeldin will “ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses, while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards.”
Zeldin said Monday, in a Post on X, that it’s “an honor to join President Trump’s Cabinet as EPA Administrator.”
“We will restore US energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, and make the US the global leader of AI. We will do so while protecting access to clean air and water,” he added.
