I am committed to advocating so that we meet those goals.

PFAS, PFOA, perfluorinated compounds, will be a top priority for this Administration.

I think if you are the captain of a ship that has sustained some serious damage, you can't just look forward.

The justice system in this country is failing in a number of areas, including in the environmental justice arena.
