Rick Jeffares is a member of the MAGA majority on a board that last week implemented controversial rules backed by the election-denial movement.

He got his seat on the board thanks to the state’s lieutenant governor, an election denier who was one of the “phony electors” from Georgia in 2020 .

Jeffares also admitted that he floated the idea of becoming a regional EPA director to a former Trump campaign aide.

Jeffares is a member of the State Election Board in Georgia .

He has a direct interest in the types of rules and regulations that the EPA promulgates.

His company might financially benefit from the deregulation of an industry the EPA oversees.

Jeffares voted last week to reopen an investigation into double-counted ballots in Fulton County in 2020 .
