Representative Thomas Kehoe Earns Environmental Endorsement

Hartford, CT (September 1, 2010)—Today, the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters (CTLCV) named its first round of endorsed candidates for election to the Connecticut General Assembly in the November 2 elections.

Representative Thomas Kehoe (Democrat-South Glastonbury), running again for the House seat in District 31, was among the first 15 candidates that the League identified for demonstrating strong leadership on environmental issues.  All candidates endorsed must be committed to protecting Connecticut’s land, water, air, wildlife, and will work toward solutions to our state’s pressing issues such as transportation, energy policy and waste management.

“We are pleased that our state legislature and the candidates seeking to serve in the House and Senate have put a high value on these issues—which is consistent with what their constituents expect and deserve,” said Lori Brown, the League’s Executive Director.  Brown continued, “These candidates are dedicated to protecting the environment and want to be sure we do not roll back protections as we work to rebuild our economy.”
