Zeldin's a smart guy, and perhaps enough of a centrist on enviro issues to keep Democrat objections at a nominal level. Yashar Ali lays out a middle-road case for Zeldin:

Zeldin has acknowledged the existence of climate change.

He has a 14% lifetime score with the League of Conservation voters.

He was a member of the Conservative Climate Caucus and the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus in the House. https://t.co/uD9P3WnDaP
