Sending letter this morning to all R's plus three D's. Text pasted below. I'll send an official copy at some point today. Dean Senator [Name]: I am writing to respectfully urge you to vote to confirm Andrew Wheeler to be Deputy Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. I have known Andrew for more than a decade. During that time, I have had the opportunity to work with him in different capacities that demonstrated to me that he is an ideal person to be Deputy Administrator. His intelligence, deep expertise on environmental policy issues, and management experience make him more than qualified for this position. In addition, I have always found Andrew to be honest, fair minded, and respectful of the opinions of others, even those with whom he might not always agree. Please vote to confirm Andrew as Deputy Administrator.
