NEW YORK – The New York League of Conservation Voters (NYLCV) endorsed Assembly Member Aravella Simotas in her campaign for re-election in Assembly District 36 in northwest Queens.

Not only did she receive a perfect score of 100% on our 2019 State Environmental Scorecard, she also sponsored legislation to build a clean energy economy by creating tax incentives for green technology. Encouraging clean power and green jobs are one of NYLCV’s key priorities and that’s why we are proud to stand with Assemblywoman Simotas in her reelection. We urge voters in Assembly District 36 to cast their ballot for her on Election Day.”
