Statement from NYSYR Chairman Peter Giunta on nomination of Lee Zeldin as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency

By November 11, 2024Statements

“Congratulations to our friend, Congressman Lee Zeldin, on his nomination by President Donald J. Trump to serve as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

The ‘Green New Deal’ environmental policies of the radical left in New York and around the country are among some of the most disastrous unfunded mandates in American history and are totally unsustainable. As a New Yorker, Lee knows firsthand the impact that these policies have on economic vitality and innovation, making him well-suited to cut through burdensome regulations while protecting access to clean air and water.

President Trump received a historic mandate from the American people to get our country back on track and we are pleased to see him surround himself with strong and capable New Yorkers like Lee Zeldin.”
