U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, who serves on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, has commented on President Trump's decision to appoint Lee Zeldin as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Ricketts expressed his approval of Zeldin's appointment and criticized the previous administration's environmental policies. He stated, "The Biden-Harris EPA’s delusional and expensive regulations have caused prices to rise for families and businesses. They wasted millions of taxpayer dollars with grants to far-left, partisan organizations. Their mandates limited choice and hindered American innovation."

Senator Ricketts also highlighted his commitment to confirming Zeldin swiftly in order to provide what he describes as much-needed relief for Americans: "As a member of the Committee that oversees the EPA, I look forward to getting Lee confirmed as soon as possible so we can finally give the American people the relief they’ve been calling for."
