The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee has been busy pushing President Donald Trump’s nominees since EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin was confirmed.
Earlier this month, the panel sent two more EPA picks to the floor, and this week members will question additional candidates: Brian Nesvik to lead the Fish and Wildlife Service, Jessica Kramer to head EPA’s water office and Sean Donahue for EPA general counsel.
Nesvik continues the not-always-followed tradition of Westerners being tapped to oversee FWS and its 500-plus national wildlife refuges.
He would replace Martha Williams, who joined the Biden administration after running Montana’s Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Nesvik, too, has run a state agency — in his case, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.
