Lee Zeldin, a former GOP Long Island Rep. and 2022 gubernatorial candidate, was announced on Monday as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the US Environmental Protection Agency.
The former Suffolk County Congress member, who came within just a few points of winning the governorship two years ago, broadcasted his new appointment on social media Monday afternoon. He notably did not mention the term climate change, which Trump has falsely labeled as a “hoax.”
