NYLCV Gives Green Announces New York City Endorsements, Including Co-endorsement for Mayor
"We were fortunate this year to have a field of candidates with a strong track record on environmental action. In many races, we had to choose between contenders who all demonstrated serious commitments to climate; in those instances, we focused on candidates who have consistently delivered real results,” said Julie Tighe, President of the New York League of Conservation Voters. “In the mayoral race, Andrew Cuomo and Brad Lander rose above the rest. Governor Cuomo was instrumental in passing the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act and made generational investments in clean air, clean water, and parks. Comptroller Lander has been a leader on climate finance, driving fossil fuel divestment from pension funds, helping to pass the nation-leading plastic bag ban and Styrofoam restrictions, and championing environmental causes throughout his time on the City Council. We are proud to endorse this group of candidates and look forward to working with them to continue advancing environmental progress at the local level.”

The reconciliation bill that passed the House, if enacted, would unravel key provisions of the IRA, rescind billions in key climate investments at the EPA and Department of Energy, and pull the rug out from under American families and businesses that have begun to rely on clean energy tax credits.
