Confirming a New Boss at EPA

Earthjustice expresses support for the nomination of Gina McCarthy as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), citing her experience as a pragmatist and her history of working on climate change and public health issues.

• Earthjustice supports the Senate's expeditious confirmation of Gina McCarthy to replace Lisa Jackson as EPA Administrator, noting McCarthy's 25-year history of bipartisan cooperation, including serving as energy and climate advisor to Governor Romney in Massachusetts.
• Gina McCarthy is credited with helping establish new clean car emissions standards and creating rules to protect against mercury pollution from existing power plants.
• Earthjustice identifies three priority items for the EPA under McCarthy's leadership: adopting limits on industrial carbon pollution from power plants, finalizing the Clean Water Act jurisdiction policy to reverse Bush administration exclusions, and setting federally enforceable safeguards for coal ash disposal at over 1,300 coal-fired power plants.
