CLEAN WATER ACTION ENDORSES DAWN EUER IN STATE SENATE DISTRICT 13 SPECIAL ELECTION
PROVIDENCE - Clean Water Action is pleased to announce their endorsement of Dawn Euer’s candidacy in the special election for the state senate seat in district 13.
“For many years, Dawn has been working to make Newport County a more resilient and sustainable place,” said Johnathan Berard, Rhode Island state director.
Over the last decade, Dawn has been directly involved in efforts to protect coastal communities from flooding and sea level rise, reduce litter in Newport and plastic pollution in its surrounding waters, and expand alternative transit networks for Aquidneck Islanders.
“Dawn understands the critical role our environment will play in moving our state forward,” continued Berard. “She has repeatedly shown her commitment to creating a vibrant economy for all Rhode Islanders while at the same time protecting and preserving our natural assets. She has earned Clean Water Action’s endorsement because of this commitment.”
