About Casey Sixkiller
Casey Sixkiller was appointed Regional Administrator, Region 10, of the Environmental Protection Agency by President Joe Biden in May 2022. As regional administrator, Sixkiller oversees the EPA’s work to protect human health and the environment across the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska, and 271 tribal nations.
Sixkiller also is leading the EPA’s efforts locally to implement both the Bipartisan Infrastructural Law and Inflation Reduction Act, which together are making generational investments in water infrastructure, helping to address the impacts of climate change, and scaling the deployment and adoption of solutions necessary to achieving our nation’s green energy future — all centered on President Biden’s and EPA Administrator Michael Regan’s commitment to environmental justice and equity.
