LEE ZELDIN

MSNBC - During his eight years representing New York’s 1st Congressional District, Rep. Lee Zeldin, the president-elect’s pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency, earned a dismal 14% on the national environmental scorecard put together by the League of Conservation Voters. Among other things, he voted against a bill that would protect about 1 million acres of federal lands around Grand Canyon National Park from uranium mining; voted against establishing a White House office of climate resilience; for a bill to end the U.S.’s participation in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; and against a bill that would have invested billions to fully replace lead service lines that provide drinking water for people across the country.
