State Rep. Dylan Fernandes, D-Falmouth, has received the endorsement of both the Sierra Club and the Environmental League of Massachusetts (ELM) in his bid for State Senate. These endorsements from two of the most respected environmental organizations in the state underscore Fernandes’ strong record on environmental issues and his leadership in the fight against climate change.
“We need to protect the water resources of the Plymouth and Barnstable district and ensure that our communities are resilient in the face of climate change,” said Fernandes. “In the eight years as state representative, I’ve been a champion of clean air and water and we have more work ahead to protect our environment.”
Fernandes has been a critical leader on environmental policy in his time in the legislature, according to Casey Bowers, Executive Director of the ELM Action Fund. “He has successfully championed clean water, the blue economy, and innovative ideas to ensure that Massachusetts remains a national leader in combating climate change. We are certain that he will continue to prioritize our beautiful beaches and outdoor spaces in the Senate.”
“Dylan Fernandes has been a strong advocate for clean air, clean water, and offshore wind,” said Celia Doremus, Political Chair of the Sierra Club Massachusetts Chapter.
Since his initial election in 2016, Representative Fernandes has sponsored dozens of bills advancing clean air and clean water.
