LCV Launches Digital Ads Holding Frelinghuysen Accountable for Budget Cuts to Environment, Thanking LoBiondo For His Opposition

TRENTON – One week after the U.S. House of Representatives passed a spending bill that slashes funding for several environmental priorities, the League of Conservation Voters launched a $50,000 digital ad campaign holding members of Congress, including Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R, NJ-11), accountable for his support of the bill, and thanking Frank LoBiondo (R, NJ-2) for standing up to these attacks.
 
The appropriations bill, H.R. 3354, makes unacceptable funding cuts to the National Park Service, the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and the Environmental Protection Agency while containing a slew of harmful anti-environmental policy riders. The ads are running on Facebook in the members’ districts starting today.
 
“With this important vote, Rep. Frank LoBiondo demonstrated once again that he prioritizes environmental conservation, while his colleague, Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, chose the misguided priorities of the Trump administration over the health and well-being of New Jersey families,” said New Jersey LCV Executive Director Ed Potosnak. “We thank Rep. LoBiondo for being one of 14 House Republicans to vote against this disastrous appropriations bill that slashes funding for estuaries, land and water conservation, and many other programs that keep New Jerseyans healthy and safe.”
