Following the release of NYLCV's 2012 State Policy Agenda in early January, Monday's event marked the kickoff of our 2012 electoral efforts.

NYLCV PAC is the only state political action committee dedicated to electing environmental and clean-energy leaders.Funds raised at the event will go directly toward NYLCV PAC's efforts to elect environmental and clean-energy leaders to the state Legislature. NYLCV has the only state PAC dedicated to this purpose. 

And talk about an auspicious start to the election season -- we exceeded our fundraising goal!
