Thanks Don - I think it would be a good message point for you all that you met with Midwestern governors - the relationships with the previous administration was rocky especially due to WQTUS and the Obama team backing away from the RFS...

Hi Stephanie,
i just talked to Don Benton who is the senior advisor for Administrator Pruitt at ERA (he is ccd). The Senate has not yet confirmed the DOE and USDA nominees, but thankfully they have approved Administrator Pruitt at ERA.
*Don can you and your team work with Stephanie Groen with Gov. Branstad's team to try to find a time that works for the Administrator to meet with heiow grouping of governors?
Midwest Governors:
Branstad (IA), Ricketts (NE), Holcomb (IN), Dayton (MN)
Thanks for your help.
Sincerely, Doug

Doug and Anna,
I would like to check in on the status of the request that Iowa has made for a meeting of Midwestern Governors with the new Secretaries of the Dept, of Energy, the EPA, and USDA for this Friday, February 24.
Seeing as only one of those has been confirmed and there is now a lunch at the Vice President's Residence, I would like to amend the request.

Would Administrator Pruitt be available to meet with Governor Branstad and Lt. Governor Reynolds on Friday, February 24 from 2:30-3:30 at the JW Marriott? Thank you for your consideration of this request. Best, Stephanie
