Josh Riley
Josh Riley is running for election in New York’s 19th congressional district. Riley is committed to tackling the climate crisis with urgency and optimism; he believes that environmental challenges present unique political and economic opportunities to uplift historically marginalized communities. With a distinguished background in civil service and law, Riley has dedicated his career to advocating for consumers, civil rights, and campaign finance reform. If elected to Congress, Riley will champion the protection of New York’s natural resources and accelerate the green transition. He plans to secure substantial investments for environmental remediation, particularly for old or abandoned industrial sites in his district, to foster both ecological and economic revitalization.
