Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo (D-Endwell) announced today that she received the “Circle of Friends” award from the New York Farm Bureau – the largest farm advocacy organization in the state. Lupardo was recognized for her support of New York agriculture and the Farm Bureau.

“I appreciate and respect the Farm Bureau’s efforts to promote agriculture in New York,” said Lupardo. “I look forward to continuing to support their efforts, both locally and in Albany.”

The “Circle of Friends” award is based upon a legislator’s voting record on issues of importance to New York agriculture. Lupardo received the award in 2006 as well.
