Topic: A night to get to know the local candidates environmental stances.

Joe Bouchard- Delegate Joe Bouchard is running for re-election to Virginia’s House of Delegates, 83rd District. He is one of Virginia’s true environmental heroes and one of 14 House candidates that the Sierra Club has “fast tracked” with its early endorsement. We in the environmental community have come to know and depend on Joe as one of Virginia’s top environmental champions. We must do everything we can to help return him to Virginia’s General Assembly.http://www.delegatebouchard.com
