WEST VIRGINIA (WVVA) - Soon-to-be senior senator of the Mountain State, Shelley Moore Capito is voicing her concern and decision on President Joe Biden’s nomination for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, James Marzano.
“I believe that the White House has sort of exaggerated Mr. Marzano’s experience in the nuclear energy industry, although I do recognize his training and time working at a power plant,” said Capito.
Read a portion of the White House synopsis on Marzano below:
Marzano presently serves with the Environment and Public Works as a Idaho National Laboratory Detailee.
Among his duties there advising the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works -- Capito is a ranking member of that committee.
“After considering Mr. Marzano’s responses to my questions for the record – I do not have confidence that he has the necessary background and experience to be that agent of change at the Commission – or to set the Commission up for the Agency’s next 50 years as Congress just envisioned in the ADVANCE Act," Capito continued in her statement which can be viewed below.
“I will be voting no on Mr. Marzano’s nomination.”
