The New York League of Conservation Voters has released its State Environmental Scorecard for the 2021 State Legislative Session, which scores State Legislators based on their support for environmental legislation. Assemblyman Fred Thiele has received a 100% rating for the 2021 Session. The New York State League of Conservation Voters is a statewide nonpartisan environmental organization that advocates for environmental legislation and endorses candidates for office.

The ranking is based upon fifteen (15) bills introduced in the State Assembly that addressed issues of environmental justice, public health, clean water, clean energy, and transportation emissions, and more. Assemblyman Thiele co-sponsored all the 15 bills.

Thiele stated, “I am pleased to once again be recognized by the New York League of Conservation Voters for my work on the environment during the 2021 State Legislative Session. On eastern Long Island, our environment is our economy. Our key industries of farming, fishing, tourism, and second homes cannot thrive without resources like clean water and working to combat climate change. I look forward to continuing to pursue these goals on behalf of my district and all of New York State.”
