As a resident who cares deeply about our local environment, I am grateful for Congressman Nick LaLota’s leadership in protecting Suffolk County’s natural resources and addressing climate change.

As co-chairs of the Long Island Sound Caucus, Congressman LaLota (R-NY) and Congressman Joe Courtney (D-Connecticut) worked together to successfully pass a bill to reauthorize the Long Island Sound Program, securing vital funding for the Long Island Sound and the Peconic Estuary, ensuring these treasured waters are preserved for generations to come.

LaLota has earned bipartisan support for his legislation to protect Plum Island, an irreplaceable environmental gem, and passed an amendment to prevent offshore drilling in Long Island waters, safeguarding our coastline.

Congressman LaLota’s support for an “all of the above” energy plan — including oil, gas, solar, wind and hydro — reflects his balanced approach to meeting energy needs while investing in renewables.

His commitment to protecting our communities from the impacts of climate change, like erosion in Montauk, shows he is fighting for us.
