The
Long Island Environmental Voters Forum has endorsed and prioritized
two campaigns for public office on Long Island. LIEVF will work
actively to elect Anna Throne-Holst Supervisor of the Town of Southampton
and to re-elect Councilwoman Jane Bonner, Councilwoman in the Second
Council District in northeast Brookhaven. Throne-Holst is a Democrat
and Independent. Bonner is the candidate of the Republicans and
Conservatives. LIEVF is non-partisan. We select the candidates most
likely to advance environmental protection, regardless of party
affiliation. Throne-Holst must be elected if Southampton is to replace
a dysfunctional government, unable to manage its finances and entirely
pro-development. Bonner is running to continue her efforts to make
government more accountable and to expand open space preservation
and prevent high-density development in northeastern Brookhaven.
The Environmental Voters Forum will not merely endorse the candidates
as other environmental advocates do, but work actively to ensure
that they are elected by becoming an integral part of the candidates
campaigns. |
