Today, Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) joined Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin, U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, Indiana Governor Mike Braun, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, Indiana Secretary of Energy and Natural Resources Suzanne Jaworowski, Indiana Motor Trucking Association President Gary Langston, and Chairman of the Indiana House Environmental Affairs Committee Beau Baird as the EPA put forward its proposal to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which has been used to justify over one trillion dollars' worth of costly, burdensome regulations, including the Biden Administration’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate.

“Thanks to the outstanding work of President Trump, Administrator Zeldin, and Secretary Wright, the Environmental Protection Agency has made a commitment to roll back the sweeping Obama-era regulations that paved the way for the Biden Administration’s authoritarian EV mandates and have cost Americans over one trillion dollars,” said Congressman Baird. “Once again, President Trump’s Administration is standing up for common sense and American consumers and automakers. I thank Administrator Zeldin and Secretary Wright for their historic deregulation efforts that will boost the great American auto industry, implement sound energy policies, and lower costs for American families.”
