"I applaud President Obama's nomination of Gina McCarthy as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Her deep experience working with national, state, and local leaders from both parties and across critical constituencies in industry and labor will be an incredible asset.

EPA is on the front lines of climate action. It is more important than ever that President Obama and the new EPA Administrator continue to enforce laws cutting climate pollution. With her bipartisan credentials and principled defense of the environment and public health, Ms. McCarthy is an ideal candidate to continue the crucial work of promoting regulatory and market-based solutions to solve the climate crisis."
