Jay Simson, President of ACEC New York, stated that “The challenges of climate change and our crumbling infrastructure, together with the City’s remarkable population growth, demands that we elect leaders who have the expertise to address these challenges. Engineers are problem solvers, and we expect this quality in our public officials. The individuals we are endorsing today are all people who are committed to building New York City’s sustainable future and we are proud to stand with them.”
