Washington, D.C. -- December 2019
Matthew Davis, a former Congressional Liaison Specialist representing the EPA in regards to air, energy and climate policy, poses for a portrait near the Capitol complex power plant, which no longer burns coal. While at the EPA, he was also a career civil servant Health Scientist in the Office of Children’s Health Protection. Davis, who left the EPA in May 2019, said he couldn’t “have a clear conscience telling my toddler son when he’s older that I’d done everything in my power to avert the worst of climate change.”
