EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is working to build a bridge with a growing number of high-profile supporters of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” movement.

The agency has “been working to finalize and announce a MAHA agenda for EPA,” Zeldin said Tuesday during an invite-only holiday press gathering in his office.

Zeldin said the agenda is a collection of “all different kinds of work, priorities and our ideas important to MAHA,” an anti-corporate crusade dedicated to ending childhood chronic disease. “We’re excited about being able to release it as one formal agenda,” he continued.
