November 11, 2024

OMAHA, NE – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE), a member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, issued the following statement on President Trump’s selection of Lee Zeldin as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator: 

“The Biden-Harris EPA’s delusional and expensive regulations have caused prices to rise for families and businesses. They wasted millions of taxpayer dollars with grants to far-left, partisan organizations. Their mandates limited choice and hindered American innovation. As a member of the Committee that oversees the EPA, I look forward to getting Lee confirmed as soon as possible so we can finally give the American people the relief they’ve been calling for.”
