WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) released the following statement after former Congressman Lee Zeldin was confirmed as Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):

“Lee Zeldin is a fantastic choice by President Trump to cut the bureaucratic red tape, radical Green New Deal policies, and anti-American energy agenda that defined the Biden EPA. The days of bowing to environmental activists are rightfully coming to a close with Lee in charge, and I am eager to work with him to slash burdensome regulations that have kneecapped Texas energy producers for far too long.”
