“I am honored to receive the backing of the New York League of Conservation Voters who shares my commitment to protecting our environment,” said Senator Carlucci, in response to the endorsement. “In Albany, I will continue to fight for the principles I believe in so the people of the Hudson Valley will always have the cleanest air and safest water available to them and their families.”

The New York League of Conservation Voters (NYLCV) was founded in 1989 as a nonpartisan, policy making and political action organization that works to make environmental protection a top priority with elected officials, decision makers, and voters by evaluating incumbent performance and endorsing and electing environmental leaders to office in New York State.
