Under President Trump and @epaleezeldin’s leadership, EPA is FULLY committed to advancing a Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program that supports our tremendous American farmers, ranchers, and landowners. I enjoyed sitting down with @agripulse to discuss how our robust RFS volumes open new markets for farmers and increases economic opportunities for rural communities.

One of the most underreported successes of President Trump’s 2nd term is the extraordinary progress revitalizing domestic auto manufacturing. Audi’s $4.2 BILLION investment into a new U.S. manufacturing plant is expected to create 4,500 jobs and produce 200,000 cars annually! foxbusiness.com/politics/tru…

The Trump Admin has been working around the clock to successfully ramp up access to abundant U.S. energy. That effort includes EPA’s recent action to end the summer blend requirement early, which increased U.S. gasoline supply by hundreds of thousands of barrels per day. While in San Marcos, Texas, I spoke today with @KVUE Austin from a newly opened Buc-ee’s.

Meet Pete Dao, an Environmental Engineer in @eparegion4's Superfund and Emergency Management Division.
For Pete, what began as a temporary career opportunity became a lifelong commitment to environmental protection and public service.
His appreciation for his work deepened as he witnessed its impact on people’s lives. Conversations with community members who shared their experiences with cancer and other illnesses potentially linked to chemical exposure at contaminated sites gave him a greater understanding of the importance of his work.
Pete is recently proud to have encountered a community member near one of EPA’s sites, and provide her with information and assurance that the agency is looking out for her health.
Thank you for making a difference at EPA and beyond!
