John McManmon Endorsed by The Sierra Club

I am very proud to be endorsed by The Sierra Club.  I grew up fishing in the Peconic Bay, swimming in the Long Island Sound and exploring the Pine Barrens.  I treasure these open spaces and recognize the necessity of strong environmental protections to sustain and promote our economy.  We must protect the natural resources that make our home such a wonderful place to live.

As a candidate for State Assembly, I have made environmental protection a pillar of my campaign.  In the Assembly, I will support:

  • Purchasing development rights to preserve open space;
  • Promoting sustainable farming;
  • Supporting new, environmentally friendly business to lower the property tax burden; and
  • Providing tax credits for energy efficiency and sustainable energy production.
By protecting our environment, we can improve our quality of life and grow our economy.  I look forward to working with The Sierra Club and other like-minded organizations to achieve these goals.
