With a total of 85 new endorsements across the state, the New York League of Conservation Voters Gives Green is proud to support a bipartisan slate of candidates for the 2024 election.
“After the hottest year on record and a relentless onslaught of extreme weather – including apocalyptic oranges skies from wildfires hundreds of miles away and catastrophic flooding that paralyzed New York City and forced some state parks and the subway to close – the environment and climate change are poised to be pivotal election issues in 2024,” said NYLCV President Julie Tighe. “We are thrilled to endorse this slate of candidates for elected office and we are confident they will be strong advocates for clean energy, green jobs, and a healthier future, and we urge voters to support them in their upcoming election.”
Last year was a big year for the environment at the ballot box. An overwhelming majority—nearly 90%—of the candidates NYLCV endorsed won in the general election, showing once again that New York State is trending in the right direction in its fight to protect the environment and address the climate crisis. NYLCV looks forward to carrying this momentum into the 2024 election and beyond.
The League previously endorsed candidates in three special elections in 2024, including Tom Suozzi (NY-3) and Tim Kennedy (NY-26) for U.S. Congress and Landon Dais (AD-77) for State Assembly, bringing the year’s total endorsements to 88.
Suozzi and Dais were both victorious, while early voting for the NY-26 special election will run from April 20 – April 28 with Election Day on April 30.
For this new slate of endorsed candidates, early voting for the primary election runs from June 15 – 23, with primary Election Day on June 25. The general election will be held on November 5, 2024.
NYLCV will announce additional endorsements later this election season.
