探花精选 Comments on EPA Head Nomination

In response to President Obama鈥檚 nomination of Gina McCarthy to head the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the 探花精选 issued the following statement:

鈥淕ina McCarthy is whip-smart, tough-talking and tenacious. She is exactly the kind of leader the country needs to make historic progress on climate change solutions,鈥 said 探花精选 Vice President for Government Relations . 鈥淪he has a rare and genuine ability to bring together diverse viewpoints to reach real solutions, something Washington desperately needs. She鈥檚 been a champion for Long Island Sound, grasslands and species conservation, clean and sustainable water resources, clean air, and dealing with climate change.  She helped spark a national movement with the 2006 launch of Connecticut鈥檚 No Child Left Inside initiative, connecting countless children and families to nature. We enthusiastically support her nomination.鈥
