U.S. Senator John Cornyn has announced his support for the confirmation of Lee Zeldin as the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Following Zeldin's confirmation, Cornyn released a statement highlighting his approval of this decision.

"Lee Zeldin is a fantastic choice by President Trump to cut the bureaucratic red tape, radical Green New Deal policies, and anti-American energy agenda that defined the Biden EPA," Cornyn stated. He further expressed optimism about working with Zeldin to reduce regulations impacting Texas energy producers. "The days of bowing to environmental activists are rightfully coming to a close with Lee in charge, and I am eager to work with him to slash burdensome regulations that have kneecapped Texas energy producers for far too long."

Zeldin's appointment marks a significant shift in leadership at the EPA, reflecting a change in direction from previous environmental policies.
