CHICAGO -- Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced that President Donald J. Trump appointed Anne Vogel as EPA Region 5 Administrator. As regional administrator, Vogel will oversee EPA’s work across the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin and 37 Tribal nations. She will also manage EPA’s Great Lakes National Program.
“I am glad to welcome Anne to our EPA team,” said Administrator Zeldin. “Through her leadership running Ohio EPA and following the East Palestine incident, Region 5 and the Great Lakes National Program have the right leader at the right time. I am confident that her deep knowledge and vast experience will be vital to implementing President Trump’s agenda across Region 5.”
“It’s a tremendous honor to join Administrator Zeldin in Powering the Great American Comeback across the Midwest,” said Regional Administrator Vogel. “I’ve been fortunate to have already worked with the Region 5 team in Ohio, and I look forward to working alongside them to implement the Administration’s environmental priorities and ensure clean air, water and land for all, while fostering economic growth and environmental stewardship throughout the Great Lakes region.”
Prior to joining EPA, Vogel served as director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency since December 2022. Previously, she served as policy director for Gov. Mike DeWine and worked for more than a decade at American Electric Power Co. Vogel holds a law degree from Capital University and an MBA from The Ohio State University.
