Former GOP representative Lee Zeldin has been confirmed by the US Senate as a new environmental (EPA) administrator.

On Wednesday, Zeldin was confirmed after 56 to 42 votes.
Democratic Mark Kelly (D-ARIZ), John Fetterman (D-PA), and Ruben Galego (D-Ariz) voted with the Republican members in support of his confirmation.
In a statement, President Donald Trump declared Zeldin that it was the first political fighter in the United States.
“He will secure a fair and prompt deregulation decision enacted in a way to release the power of American companies, and at the same time, maintains the best environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the earth,” he said. I said. “He sets new standards for environmental reviews and maintenance to enable the United States to grow in a healthy and well -built way.”
Zeldin left Congress in 2023.
He often talked about Trump on his own campaign, and talked about the US military, national security, anti -Semitism, the relationship between the United States and Israel, illegal immigrants, and crime. 。 Zeldin also promoted in 2016 to change the specification of about 150 square mile federal water in Long Island Sound to the state jurisdiction of New York and Road Island.
When Trump claimed to be able to compete in a majority of democracy, he was a 2022 governor contest, which was much better than expected to Governor Kathy Hochulu (DN.Y). I frequently quoted Zeldin's performance.
Trump also performed much better than the previous elections in New York, especially Brucklin, and Queens.
Meanwhile, GOP staff celebrated Zeldin's confirmation and explained that Trump's deregulation agenda could be implemented from the top of the EPA.
“Lee is ready, and is ready to reduce the mountains of the EPA backwards and restore the dominance of the nation and common sense,” said Senator Kevin Cramar (RN.D.). I mentioned. “I'm looking forward to working with him because he brings back some sanity to the EPA and works for bureaucracy for those who are likely to serve it.”
