The New York League of Conservation Voters, which works to make environmental sustainability a top political and policy priority in New York State has announced its endorsement of candidate Luis Sepulveda for the 87th Assembly District.
As
an environmental advocate in his community in the Bronx, Luis Sepulveda
co-founded the Cross Bronx Expressway initiative. This agenda was
created to bring attention to the toxicity produced by the traffic
congestion of the expressway and its deleterious effects on the health
of the surrounding community.
Although
Sepulveda is a new candidate, this has not undermined his dedication to
environmental health. His background in environmental biology will
prove to be very useful in the fight to protect New York’s environment.
“The
Bronx needs leaders who understand the importance of environmental
sustainability, and realize that it is the path to a greener community
and a stronger economy” said Marcia Bystryn, NYLCV’s president. “Luis
Sepulveda has proved that he has the passion and the drive to fight for a
greener New York within the State Assembly, and that’s why the New York
League of Conservation Voters is proud to endorse his candidacy.”
In
response to the endorsement, Sepulveda said: “I am honored to be
endorsed by the New York League of Conversation Voters. The mission of
this environmentally-oriented organization is right in line with my
campaign's ethos which aspires to make the great borough of the Bronx
and the state of New York, "greener" places to live. With their support,
I will be a staunch advocate for the advancement of environmental
concerns within the state legislature.”
