Statement of EDF President Fred Krupp
“I’m thrilled that the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee voted today in favor of Gina McCarthy as our next EPA Administrator. In the end, the committee approved a highly-qualified candidate for one of our country’s most important jobs.
“Ms. McCarthy is an experienced leader who has a well-deserved reputation for being pragmatic and fair. She has worked with both parties, and has garnered the support of both environmental advocates and industry leaders. I think she’ll do an outstanding job as head of EPA, and I look forward to her quick confirmation by the full Senate.”
