Delegate Bob Hull

Delegate Bob Hull (D-Falls Church) has been named a “Legislative Leader” by the Virginia League of Conservation Voters (VALCV) based on his voting record in the 2009 General Assembly session.

“I am honored to receive this recognition from such an important environmental group,” Delegate Hull said. “Protecting Virginia’s natural resources is one of the most important responsibilities of a Virginia legislator.”

Based in Richmond, the mission of VALCV is to preserve and enhance the quality of life of all Virginians by making conservation a top priority with Virginia's elected officials, political candidates, and voters.

The “Legislative Leader” designation is given to legislators who vote the right way on 75 percent or more of VALCV recommended environmental positions. Last year, Delegate Hull was named a “Legislative Hero” by VALCV for voting the right way on 100 percent of VALCV recommended environmental positions.

“We have a constitutional duty in Virginia to protect our natural environment,” stated Delegate Hull. “But, we also have a responsibility to pass on to our children and grandchildren cleaner waters and lands than we inherited.”

In the 17 years that Delegate Hull has served in the House of Delegates, he has worked to protect the environment. A member of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, he also served for three-and-a-half years on the Fairfax County Park Authority, which owns or maintains hundreds of acres of natural lands, parks, and historic sites, prior to his election to the General Assembly.
