Axios: Senate confirms former coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler as EPA administrator
Wheeler has served as acting administrator since July.
Wheeler has come under fire for rolling back or freezing the EPA’s regulations that address climate change.
We need a strong EPA that will defend the right of every American to drink clean water & breathe clean air. That's why I'm on my way to vote NO on Andrew Wheeler's nomination to lead the EPA. We cannot allow a former coal lobbyist & climate change skeptic to head this agency.
