NEW YORK – The New York League of Conservation Voters today endorsed Governor Kathy Hochul for a full term. NYLCV applauded Governor Hochul’s commitment to protecting the environment, combating climate change, and investing in clean energy sources to build a greener future for New York.

The New York League of Conservation Voters is the only statewide environmental organization in New York that fights for clean water, clean air, renewable energy and open space through political action.

“In New York, we know that the climate crisis is happening now and we know that it’s up to us to do everything in our power to fight back,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “I am honored to partner with the New York League of Conservation Voters to build a cleaner, greener future for all New Yorkers and I’m committed to protecting this state for generations to come.”

“Kathy Hochul isn’t just talking about the environment, she’s taking action, from advocating for clean water, clean energy and clean transportation, to combating the waste crisis and so many more issues that intersect with the environment,” Julie Tighe, President of the New York League of Conservation Voters, said. “We need a Governor who knows that a healthy environment, fighting climate change and clean energy go hand in glove with a strong economy and vibrant communities and NYLCV is endorsing Kathy Hochul because she is delivering on that promise.”
