It’s always nice to brag about our candidates, and honestly, it’s easy to do when they’re making change in their communities.
EMILY’s List congressional candidate state Rep. Julie Hamos (IL-10) will be honored tonight at the Illinois Environmental Council’s annual dinner, receiving the Environmental Leadership Award. The award goes to “an outstanding legislator who is a champion for environmental best practices.”
That sure sounds like Julie! Since becoming a state legislator, she has been an active member of the Legislative Environmental Caucus. Julie is a leader in the fight for energy efficiency, working tirelessly to find ways to reduce both energy use and cost. With the passage of groundbreaking legislation in 2004 that established a statewide energy efficient building code and its expansion 2009, it looks as though her efforts are paying off!
Is it too much to say her opponents must be green with envy? We don’t think so.
Congratulations Julie!
