Common Ground Hudson Valley PAC was founded on the principle that environmental conservation is a unifying issue that transcends political affiliations. We believe that everyone—from sustainable energy advocates to outdoor enthusiasts—can find common ground in the pursuit of preserving and protecting our beautiful Hudson Valley region.

In the unique landscape of New York State politics, local elected officials play a crucial role in shaping and implementing environmental policies. The 2023 election cycle is focused on local offices, which presents an opportunity for significant impact on the environmental future of our region. Local elected officials have the power to influence land use, zoning regulations, and infrastructure investments, as well as champion local renewable energy initiatives, sustainable waste management, and green transportation solutions.

Our mission at CGHV is to support and endorse environmental champions at the local level who will work towards an environmentally and economically vibrant Hudson Valley. We believe in the values of preservation, health, justice, and democracy for all in the Hudson Valley.

By providing an outlet for those who share our love for the region and have common-sense politics, we help to promote good governance and ensure that political contributions are directed towards candidates who will prioritize the long-term health and well-being of our region. In the context of New York State's ambitious Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), we understand the importance of having local leaders who are committed to meeting and exceeding these goals.

Join us in our mission to find and support environmental champions who will protect and preserve the Hudson Valley for generations to come. Together, we can leverage the power of local government to promote environmental conservation, advance sustainable practices, and ensure that the Hudson Valley remains a thriving, resilient region for all.
