The New York League of Conservation Voters Gives Green is proud to announce its endorsement of Governor Kathy Hochul for reelection, headlining a new round of endorsements for the 2026 general election that recognizes the environmental champions running for Congress, the State Legislature, and local office across New York.
“New York needs elected leaders who will fight for our health and protect future generations of New Yorkers,” said Julie Tighe, President of the New York League of Conservation Voters. “Governor Hochul has proven she’s that leader: she’s championed clean and affordable renewable energy, defended congestion pricing against attacks from Washington, secured record environmental and clean water funding, and most recently, is leading the nation to ensure data center development doesn’t strain our grid, water supplies, and ratepayers. Governor Hochul and our full slate of candidates understand the importance of strong environmental leadership and we are confident that they are prepared to build a healthier, more sustainable future for all New Yorkers.”
“I’m honored to earn the support of the New York League of Conservation Voters, true partners that have driven countless environmental protection and public health reforms in our state. NYLCV stood with us when the Trump administration unlawfully went after our offshore wind — and lost — and helped ensure that New York’s first steps on data centers safeguard our precious water and natural resources,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “The NYLCV understands the importance of balancing solutions that protect both the environment and New Yorkers’ wallets as we invest in a clean energy future. I look forward to working side-by-side with them on efforts to deploy renewable energy, cut harmful pollution and lower energy bills for New Yorkers.”
As the Trump Administration continues to undermine federal climate action and environmental protections, strong leadership in Albany is more important than ever. New York must continue advancing its climate goals, investing in resilient communities, and protecting the progress the state has made toward a cleaner and healthier future.
