Former Caroline, New York Councilmember and Deputy Supervisor Dominic Frongillo founded Elected Officials to Protect New York in 2012, a bipartisan initiative uniting and coordinating over nearly 1,000 local elected officials to successfully fight high-volume hydro-fracking and achieve New York’s goal of powering the state with 50 percent renewable energy by 2030. 

Frongillo is a five-time delegate to the United Nations climate negotiations. He is a Climate Reality Project Presenter trained by Al Gore and he trains elected officials nationally on climate for the Young Elected Officials Network and Local Progress.
