WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Senate Environment and Public Works committee has advanced the nomination of Michael Regan to serve as President Biden’s Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency with a strong bipartisan vote of confidence in his leadership.
In Response, Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune released the following statement:
“Michael Regan is exactly the leader our nation and the EPA needs to build back better, clean up our environment, and tackle the climate while protecting ALL communities. This strong bipartisan vote is proof that Regan is positioned to lead the nation forward on day one in addressing the many urgent crises we face.
“Regan has spent his entire career protecting those most vulnerable and least powerful, and we cannot wait for him to get to work on exactly that in our nation’s capital as he finally restores integrity and care for clean air, water and communities back to our government.”
