A Project 2025 advisor takes the reins at EPA Region 6

Scott Mason IV has been appointed as the Environmental Protection Agency’s new regional administrator for Region 6, covering areas with high levels of oil and gas production and industrial pollution. His background with Project 2025, a conservative blueprint for reshaping the EPA, raises concerns for environmental justice efforts. Mason’s appointment follows the departure of Earthea Nance, who focused on addressing pollution issues in the region. The change in leadership may impact environmental programs and initiatives in the region, particularly those aimed at addressing pollution in marginalized communities.
