Sworn in as EPA Administrator January 2025. Former House R from NY-01 (2015-2023), 2022 R candidate for NY Governor. Strong border + 2A; Israel hawk. [2026 actions: As EPA Administrator, finalized rescission of the endangerment finding (Feb 12, 2026) — eliminating legal basis for regulating greenhouse gases under Clean Air Act. Called it "largest deregulatory action in American history." Removed human-life valuation from air pollution analyses (Jan 2026). Rolled back mercury/lead limits at coal plants. Granted blanket pollution exemptions to 160+ facilities. Confirms F on FPR (Israel hawk + Ukraine-aid YEA) but creates ambiguity on industry_capture q3 (anti-EPA-overreach reading vs. pro-industry-pollution reading).]

1 claim
On January 6–7, 2021, Rep. Zeldin voted against certifying the 2020 presidential election results, citing 'many reported irregularities and possible criminal activities in several states' and calling for a thorough investigation of election-security concerns before certification. He stated that 'the American people deserve and should have a thorough investigation' of the reported anomalies. This vote in favor of halting certification pending an audit of contested states aligns with the rubric's demand for verifiable, secure elections and opposition to mass mail-in voting practices that lack adequate chain-of-custody safeguards.
