With the selection of former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) as President-elect Donald Trump’s new head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Bracewell’s Frank Maisano, described to Inside Climate News that Zeldin “is a savvy political operator.”
“He wasn’t particularly well known for taking in-depth positions on EPA issues, but I’m not surprised that he gets a position like this,” Maisano said. “I’m certain what he’ll do is be a good leader, and a good spokesman for the president’s energy and environment agenda.”
