Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) Director of Federal Affairs Andrew Bird released the following statement on Representative Lee Zeldin's (NY-1) victory this evening.
"CRES is proud to congratulate Representative Lee Zeldin on his victory. Lee Zeldin was formally endorsed as a 2016 Clean Energy Champion due to his focus on promoting commonsense, free market solutions that grow the economy, strengthen America's national security, and provide affordable energy to homes and businesses across America. Our polling has shown that three out of four people are more likely to vote for a candidate who supports a clean energy plan that promotes the diversification and growth of clean energy sources, like wind, solar and hydropower. Tonight, our Clean Energy Champion Lee Zeldin has proven what we've seen time and time again, that advancing clean energy is part of a winning strategy. As CRES looks ahead to the swearing-in of a new Congress and president, we remain firmly committed to ensuring the continued implementation of renewable energy policy such as wind, solar, nuclear, and hydropower, which preserve our climate and the quality of our environment for generations to come."Whether you've got past experience writing about theater or just starting, the BroadwayWorld Community offers a unique opportunity to become a champion for your local arts community, helping raise awareness of local offerings and adding another local voice to the conversation at a time arts coverage is shrinking in the press across the continent.
