CONGRESSMAN FROM LONG ISLAND MAY BE NEXT EPA ADMINISTRATOR
Agri-Pulse reports:

Lee Zeldin
Lee Zeldin, who served as a congressman from Long Island for eight years before leaving to run a tight but unsuccessful race for governor in 2022, is likely to be the next administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

President-elect Trump said Monday Zeldin was his choice to lead the agency of about 15,000 employees that is primarily responsible for enforcing laws covering water, air and land pollution, as well as hazardous waste.

Zeldin served on the Financial Services and Foreign Affairs committees in Congress. He has a lifetime 14% score from the League of Conservation Voters, in part because he voted against the Inflation Reduction Act and its outlays for clean energy. In 2020, however, he voted against proposed cuts to EPA's budget. He also voted to address PFAS contamination at military bases.

But on biofuels: Perhaps most interesting to the renewable fuels industry and farmers who grow corn for ethanol, Zeldin signed a letter with dozens of House colleagues to then-EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy seeking a reduction in the renewable volume obligations for 2016.

The lawmakers were concerned the proposal would break the E10 blend wall and drive up the price of E10.
