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 Dave Gugerty for Nassau County Legislator in District 18.
During his time as a trustee in the Village of Bayville, Gugerty vastly expanded the curbside recycling program. He has also served as majority counsel for the Nassau County Legislature, during which time he drafted the Environmental Bonds Act with the successful goal of land preservation. Once in office, he hopes to implement bike lanes throughout Nassau County and build dunes to protect coastlines in order to adapt to radical weather patterns.
“Dave Gugerty has shown that he cares about the environment and it is time for him to spread his influence for the good of District 18 and all of Nassau County,” said NYLCV President Marcia Bystryn. “His past working in government demonstrates his dedication to environmental and sustainability issues and he represents the best choice for District 18 this election cycle.”
“I am so excited that I received the endorsement of the New York League of Conservation Voters,” Gugerty responded. “It’s gratifying to me that this important organization felt my record on Open Space Preservation and the Environmental Protection laws that I have drafted over the years in the Nassau County Legislature warranted their endorsement. Environmental issues are particularly important throughout the 18th Legislative District. I look forward to becoming its Legislator so I can continue my work on the environment for the betterment of all its communities.”
