Success Stories Pouring In

June 5th was an extremely successful primary election in the Golden State: The California League of Conservation Voters endorsed a total of 82 candidates at the state and federal legislature levels, and of those, an amazing 78 were elected. That’s a 95% success rate!

Every single one of the endorsed candidates to the U.S. Congress were elected and 48 of the 52 state candidates won their elections.

In addition to the representatives elected, Californians passed a ballot proposition to enact protections against the misuse of eminent domain and rejected a misleading measure that would have attacked homeowners and the environment.

The California election results follow a nationwide trend that show voters are taking an aggressive pro-environment stance seeking to elect pro-environment representatives to their state and federal legislatures.
