Rubio Announces Support for President-Elect Trump's Selection of Scott Pruitt for EPA Administrator
Statement
Issues: Executive Branch Environment
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement today regarding President-elect Donald Trump's intention to nominate Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt for administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
"The next EPA administrator should be someone who understands the important balance between protecting our air, water and environment without needlessly hurting workers with excessive regulations. Attorney General Pruitt is the right choice to bring a much-needed dose of common sense to a department where overzealous, out-of-touch regulators have been allowed to operate seemingly unchecked. I look forward to working with him on the many important environmental issues facing Florida."
