RICHMOND – Today, Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger announced she had selected longtime Delegate David Bulova as Virginia’s next Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources. A true environmental champion in the House, Bulova carries a 98% lifetime score from Virginia LCV tracking his votes on critical environmental legislation over the past two decades.
In response to this announcement, Michael Town, executive director of the Virginia League of Conservation Voters, issued the following statement:
“Who you surround yourself with as Governor says a lot about how you plan to govern. Governor-elect Spanberger’s selection of David Bulova as Virginia’s next Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources shows her commitment to advancing a pro-environmental agenda. For years, David Bulova has been a true champion at the legislature when it came to passing critical safeguards to protect clean air and water, advance an affordable clean energy future, and secure a clean and healthy environment. Bulova is an excellent selection for this post, and we look forward to working with him and this Administration to drive forward a new era of environmental progress in Virginia.”
