That congresswoman was AOC.
That actually had me wondering. This is about Georgia. AOC is a gem, but why is it a NY rep bringing this to the EPA and not that town's own congressional rep?
So I looked it up in the article, which never names the town nor its congressional representative but refers to Morgan County, Georgia multiple times. (The author goes out of their way to talk around various glaring facts; this is one of them.) So I looked up Morgan County, Georgia, which is in Georgia's 10th congressional district, and is currently represented by Republican Mike Collins.
And there it is. Mike Collins is himself the answer as to why it's AOC, a congresswoman from New York, holding up a jar of muddy water in Congress on behalf of the citizens of rural Georgia that he was elected to represent.
