To the Editor:

The governor has set a special election for August 13 and at this time I will proudly vote for Rush Holt. He has a 100 percent rating from the League of Conservation Voters for protecting our environment. I remember when Congressman Holt came to my church to talk with our youth about protecting our environment and as a result, the youth educated our congregation on the importance of conservation. As a former teacher and high school guidance counselor, I know the importance of continued education and Congressman Holt is in the forefront of promoting the value of higher education. New Jersey needs a teacher-scientist progressive in the U.S. Senate. Rush Holt will fulfill our needs!
