From the New York Post: President-elect Donald Trump has selected former Rep. Lee Zeldin to serve as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, The Post can exclusively report.

Zeldin, 44, served four terms as a Republican congressman repping Long Island before losing the 2022 New York governor’s race to Kathy Hochul by a surprisingly close margin.

“I am deeply honored to have been asked by President Trump to serve in his Cabinet. As EPA Administrator, we will restore American energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, make the United States the global leader of Artificial Intelligence advancement, and slash the red tape holding back American workers from upward economic mobility,” Zeldin said in a statement to The Post.

“We will accomplish all this while conserving our environment, protecting access to clean air and water, and keeping the American people healthy. I look forward to contributing to President Trump’s agenda to build a more prosperous future for our nation.”


Zeldin is a U.S. Army veteran, and was deployed to Iraq in 2006.  He is currently a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves.

Trump released a lengthy statement on Truth Social announcing Zeldin’s appointment, noting that he has a strong legal background and has been a true fighter for America First policies.

“He will ensure fair and swift deregulator decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses, while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the plant. He will set new standards on environmental review and maintenance, that will allow the United States to grow in a healthy and well-structured way,” Trump wrote.

Reacting to the news, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) wrote, “Lee Zeldin is a swamp drainer! Perfect choice for EPA. This is going very well :).”

Below is a must-see video clip of Zeldon speaking at an event, sounding the alarm over the growing amount of American farmland China is snatching up.
