Early Political Endorsements of
Legislative Heroes By Rich Isaac, Chapter Political Chair
These candidates are honored by the
Club for their record of environmental
leadership over the last several years and
their prime sponsorship of 22 legislative
bills currently before the state Legislature
– bills that encompass the core of our legislative
agenda: curbing global warming,
renewing the Green Acres Program,
reforming CAFRA, installing various landuse
safeguards, supporting recycling and
family planning, and motivating property
tax reform.
Loretta Weinberg’s endorsement is
of particular importance to the Club
because she is being challenged in
the June Primary Election, and we
will do everything we can to help her
get re-elected.
Club members are urged to contact
members of the Political
Committee (see the Group News
section of this newsletter for their
names and addresses) to learn more
about the issues, and about how
they can participate in the process
by which many other endorsements
will be made before the June
Primary and November General
Elections, and about how they can
participate in the campaigns of
endorsed candidates.

about our early endorsements
and/or our political program, please
