NEW YORK LEAGUE of CONSERVATION VOTERS ENDORSES CHERYL ROBERTS


NEW YORK — 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 Cheryl Roberts for State Assembly in the 107th District.

Roberts, a prominent environmental attorney, has fought vigorously against the environmental and social inequities that her constituency faces. Roberts’ environmental litigations include: defending the town of Middlefield against an oil drilling company and assisting the City of Hudson with development and passage of Hudson’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. Having been long acquainted with issues that resonate with NYLCV, Roberts has played an essential role in sustaining the health of New York State.

NYLCV’s president, Maria Bystryn, stated, “Cheryl Roberts’ record shows her ability to get positive environmental results for the Capital Region. Roberts is an impressive candidate, an inspiring advocate and will be an invaluable ally for the environmental community in the 107th Assembly District.”

"I am honored to have won the endorsement of the New York League of Conservation Voters in my race for the Assembly and promise its members and the people of Rensselaer, Columbia and Washington counties that I will fight hard to protect and preserve the environment, especially prime farmlands, in the 107th Assembly District," said Cheryl Roberts, in response to the endorsement.
