NYLCV salutes outgoing LCV president Gene Karpinski, whose combination of passion, political savvy, and bold leadership has built a formidable conservation voter movement that has made the environment a leading issue for voters and a top priority for lawmakers. As we bid farewell and say thank you to one visionary leader, we congratulate and welcome another in LCV’s new president, Pete Maysmith. As our nation stands on the brink of dismantling decades of bipartisan environmental protections, this moment demands leaders who are smart and tough and not just willing, but eager, to speak truth to power. With his deep experience and lengthy record of winning environmental campaigns, coupled with a tireless work ethic and fearless use of the facts, Pete is well-suited to take on this challenge, and we look forward to working alongside him as we fight against anti-environment politicians in Washington and shore up our clean energy future right here in New York.
NYLCV is the only statewide environmental organization in New York that fights for clean water, clean air, renewable energy and open space through political action. We're non-partisan, pragmatic and effective.
