EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is crafting a “Make America Healthy Again” strategy for the agency — a move that comes amid vocal concerns from MAHA supporters over his staffing and chemical approval decisions.
Over the past few weeks, Zeldin has been meeting with the movement’s leaders to develop a “MAHA agenda for EPA,” an olive branch to a faction of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s base that in late November circulated a petition calling for the administrator’s removal.
Zeldin said last month the strategy will address initiatives on plastics, food waste, Superfund cleanups and lead pipe replacements.
“This agenda will demonstrate the wide range of actions EPA is taking to protect human health and advance healthy outcomes for all Americans,” EPA spokesperson Brigit Hirsch said in an email.
