“Gina McCarthy is whip-smart, tough-talking and tenacious. She is exactly the kind of leader the country needs to make historic progress on climate change solutions,” said ��������Ƶ Vice President for Government Relations . “She has a rare and genuine ability to bring together diverse viewpoints to reach real solutions, something Washington desperately needs.
