This Wednesday, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW) will hold a confirmation hearing for a handful of EPA appointees, including prospective Assistant Administrator for Water, Jessica Kramer.  Kramer has previous experience at EPA, having served as policy counsel for the Office of Water during President Trump’s first term. She has since served as a deputy secretary in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and as water counsel for the current EPW Chair, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.).  Kramer was nominated in mid-February, following the confirmation of EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. She has been an advisor in EPA’s Water Office since her nomination, but will not take on official duties as Assistant Administrator for Water until she is confirmed by the full Senate.
