The Environmental League of Massachusetts Action Fund has endorsed Samantha Perlman in the election for Marlborough Mayor, a credit to her commitment to the environment and climate action. With issues of public health, environmental justice, transportation, and energy policy inextricably linked, we need leaders at every level of government who understand the pressing issues of their community and will call for ambitious action.
“Samantha Perlman has demonstrated a strong track record of climate action as a member of the City Council, including by supporting sustainable housing and open space in Marlborough,” said Casey Bowers, Executive Director of the ELM Action Fund. “The ELM Action Fund is proud to endorse her bid for Mayor and looks forward to her continued service to Marlborough.”
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Environmental League of Massachusetts Action Fund in support of our run for Mayor,” said Councilor Perlman on her endorsement. “Sound stewardship of our natural resources must be integrated into all our work, including how we operate as a municipality to reduce our carbon footprint. Our work here in Marlborough depends on a livable planet and it is our job to partner with our state and federal leaders to ensure a healthy, safe and high quality of life for residents and generations to come.”
