U.S. Senator Katie Britt expressed her support following the Senate's confirmation of Lee Zeldin as the new Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In a statement, she highlighted her enthusiasm for Zeldin's appointment and criticized previous policies under the Biden-Harris administration.

"I was excited to vote to confirm Lee Zeldin as EPA Administrator today," said Britt. She accused the prior administration of implementing "partisan, punitive rules and taxes" that increased costs and harmed American businesses. Britt emphasized that the Trump Administration aims to reverse these regulations, with Zeldin leading this effort.

Britt also stressed the importance of American energy independence, stating, "Unleashing American energy is a priority for me, my colleagues, and the American people." She expressed optimism about potential achievements once regulatory barriers are removed and common sense is reinstated.

The senator concluded by expressing confidence in President Trump's appointees: "We are on the precipice of a golden era of American prosperity with President Trump’s picks at the helm."
