If Trump gets his way, he and the following cabinet picks will roll back hard-fought protections for our food, water, and climate so billionaires can rake in more profits: Lee Zeldin, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Zeldin has a track record of opposing environmental protections and will be a disaster as EPA secretary. As early as 2014, Zeldin questioned if climate change was a problem and, as a candidate for Governor of New York, railed against environmental regulations and demanded that New York rescind its historic fracking ban. Learn more about Zeldin’s ant-environment record here. Brooke Rollins, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rollins was President of America First Policy Institute, which led a campaign against the Biden administration's efforts to promote competition and stop monopolies through antitrust enforcement. Rollins previously worked at a pro-oil drilling think tank in Texas and embraces Trump’s drill baby drill agenda. Chris Wright, Department of Energy (DOE) Wright owns a fracking company and once drank fracking fluid as a PR stunt. He also testified against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's greenhouse gas emissions disclosure rule. Your Senator can fight Trump's toxic agenda by opposing these dangerous cabinet picks, but they need to hear from you TODAY as hearings get underway this week.
