State House, Providence, RI – Rhode Island House Republican Representative Jack W. Lyle, Jr. has been selected as the 2020 Rhode Island State Lead for the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators (NCEL). This position recognizes the leadership of Lyle within the Caucus for promoting innovative and effective environmental policy in Rhode Island.

“I am honored by this national appointment and look forward to working with my colleagues in government in promoting sound environmental policies for the State of Rhode Island,” said Lyle.
 
Lyle has served in the Rhode Island General Assembly for 12 years, five terms as State Senator and one term as State Representative.  Lyle represents constituents in District 46 which spans Lincoln and Pawtucket. During his tenure he initially served on the Joint Committee on the Environment and currently serves on the House Committee on the Environment and Natural Resources.  Since first being elected to the Senate in 1980, he has been an advocate for a host of issues including a bottle bill, a ban on single-use plastic bags and plastic straws. He has championed additional funding and resources for the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM), and advocates for measures offered by Save the Bay, the Blackstone Valley Watershed Commission, and the Conservation Law Foundation. He consistently supports initiatives designed to encourage development of alternate energy sources in an effort to help eliminate our carbon footprint.
 
As an NCEL State Lead, Lyle will serve as the main point of contact in the state, coordinating in-state engagements and recruiting his colleagues to join NCEL.
 
“State leads are a crucial element of a thriving network like NCEL,” said Jeff Mauk, Executive Director of NCEL. “The Caucus is led by legislators, so the State Leads provide an active conduit of engagement and information sharing with environmental state legislators across the country."

Created by and for state legislators, the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that organizes over 1,000 environmentally-committed state legislators from all 50 states and both parties. NCEL provides venues and opportunities for lawmakers to share ideas and collaborate on environmental issues.

About rhode island house republicans


In 1636, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, established the first working model of Democracy after being banished from Massachusetts for his “extreme views” concerning freedom of speech and religion. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams publicly acknowledged Williams as the originator of these concepts, along with the freedom of public assembly, in the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. Today, Rhode Island House Republicans uphold the liberties designed by our Founders and preserved in our Constitution, and are the primary legislative body promoting lean government, fighting for lower taxes, and advocating for initiatives and policies that improve the economy and in turn, the lives of Rhode Islanders.  As members of a part-time assembly, we are small business owners, retired educators, community activists, lawyers, farmers, military service veterans, volunteers, former local officials, retired social workers, coaches, musicians, churchgoers and board directors -- bringing these community engagement and professional experiences to our work, on your behalf, at the Rhode Island State House.
