STATEHOUSE (Feb. 13, 2025) – The United States Environmental Protection Agency recently appointed State Rep. Kendell Culp (R-Rensselaer) as a member of its Local Government Advisory Committee.
Culp said there are numerous advisory committees with the purpose to help the president and executive branch better understand key topics. The main job of the committee is to tackle critical problems by working with the different governing bodies to develop common sense, long-lasting solutions.
"In this new position, I look forward to bringing my experience with local government and farming to aid the EPA on issues involving the environment and public health," Culp said. "I am honored to have been chosen for this committee and look forward to working with other leaders around the country."
The committee was established in 1993 to establish partnerships between the federal government and local governments across the country. Now, the Local Government Advisory Committee acts as one of 23 committees under the EPA that's dedicated to advising on regulations, research and programs on topics such as pesticides, drinking water quality, air quality, rural community welfare and children's health.
