Today, Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD) announced it has awarded Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) with the second annual ChemPolicy Champion award. This award recognizes key advocates of the chemical distribution industry who support policies in Congress that create real impacts for the chemical industry and its supply chain partners.
“Since the beginning of her tenure in Congress, Senator Capito has been an unwavering and reliable champion of policies critical to the success and competitiveness of the chemical distribution industry,” said ACD President and CEO Eric R. Byer. “As the founder and co-chair of the Chemistry Caucus, there are few allies who have stood with our industry as consistently and as vocally as Senator Capito. She has been a driving force behind vital initiatives such as advocating for the reauthorization of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards program, pushing for necessary reforms to the Toxic Substances Control Act, providing clarity around per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances liability, and much more. We are thrilled to recognize Senator Capito for her steadfast commitment to our industry and we look forward to continuing to work with her in the years to come.”
“I’m honored to accept the Alliance for Chemical Distribution’s ChemPolicy Champion Award and appreciate their recognition of my efforts as Chairman of the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee and a co-chair of the Chemistry Caucus. I will continue my work to address challenges that impact the review of new chemicals and the safety of our communities, as well as the reauthorization of important programs,” said U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito and Chairman of the Senate EPW Committee.
