Ulster Legislator Kathy Nolan Endorses Flynn in NY19

Kingston, NY - Today Congressional candidate Brian Flynn announced the endorsement and support of Ulster County Legislator and environmental activist, Kathy Nolan. Nolan represents District 22, which is made up of the towns of Denning, Hardenburgh, Olive, and Shandaken.

Nolan is a pediatrician and bioethicist who focuses her work on public health and the environment. She played an important role in achieving New York State’s pioneering ban on fracking and has been instrumental to bringing sustainable economic development to the area.

“While we have a fantastic field of candidates, my choice in the June 26 Democratic Primary is Brian Flynn,” said Nolan. “He is a practical problem-solver who also thinks outside the box and has a long track record of both creating jobs and fighting for progressive causes. More than a decade before taking the ‘No Fossil Fuel Money’ pledge as a candidate, he drove an all-electric Volt, helped to start the New York State Chapter of Environmental Entrepreneurs, and fought for common sense policies to protect the environment,” she explained.  

If you are looking for a candidate with proven progressive values, solid business sense, amazing dedication to our shared public good, and just a hint of what I would call the magic of the Catskills, … then you have found your candidate: Brian Flynn,” Nolan continued.

“I am very proud to have the endorsement and support of Kathy Nolan. Not only is she a well-respected champion for the people of our community, but she is a tireless advocate for the environment,” said Flynn.   

Kathy Nolan represents the Democrat, Green,Working Families and Women's Equality parties in the Ulster County Legislature. In addition to being an Ulster County Legislator, Nolan is the Senior Research Director at Catskill Mountainkeepers, focusing her work on issues related to the health impacts of fracking and fossil fuel infrastructure.
