Earthjustice Urges Senate Committee to Advance Regan EPA Nomination

After four years of climate and science denial, Regan can bring EPA back to its core mission.

WASHINGTON

On Tuesday, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW) is set to vote on Michael Regan's nomination to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Earthjustice calls on senators from both sides of the aisle to advance his nomination.

The following is a statement from Earthjustice Vice-president of Policy and Legislation Martin Hayden:

"We commend EPW Chairman Tom Carper for quickly scheduling a vote to confirm the next EPA administrator. We urge Democratic and Republican committee members to unite and vote in favor of confirming Michael Regan as EPA administrator. The country needs and deserves an EPA administrator who will tackle the climate crisis, and address the environmental injustice that communities all over the country have been facing for generations. Indeed, we are confident Regan will ensure that EPA laws are strong and enforced faithfully and fairly, and that polluters are held accountable."

Earthjustice is a non-profit public interest law firm dedicated to protecting the magnificent places, natural resources, and wildlife of this earth, and to defending the right of all people to a healthy environment. We bring about far-reaching change by enforcing and strengthening environmental laws on behalf of hundreds of organizations, coalitions and communities.
