New York League of Conservation Voters Endorses Luis Sepulveda For State Assembly


    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.”
