ASA Congratulates Lee Zeldin on EPA Administrator Nomination

The American Soybean Association welcomes President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of former U.S. Representative Lee Zeldin (R-NY) to serve as Environmental Protection Agency Administrator.

ASA Chief Executive Officer Stephen Censky said, "From representing a congressional district with significant agriculture production to protecting the Long Island Sound, former Congressman Lee Zeldin is no stranger to interactions with the Environmental Protection Agency. Mr. Zeldin has a track record in D.C. of working in a thoughtful, bipartisan way, which makes him well suited to the position of EPA administrator."

ASA looks forward to introducing Zeldin to the soy industry and the role it plays both in agriculture and the U.S. economy as he comes to the helm of EPA, an agency of critical importance to soybean farmers.
