LCV in the News

Rocky Mountain News attributed part of Mark Udall’s success in the Quinnipiac poll to the ad campaign launched by LCV, “linking Schaffer with the excesses of Big Oil.”

Red, Green & Blue & Grist cover the launching of Give Green, the new bundling website put out by the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund on Friday.

Senator Lamar Alexander tried to defend his environmental record, which earned him a 33% LCV score in 2007. Deputy Legislative Director, Tim Greeff tells the Senator to live up to his words.

LCV Endorsements

Today, LCV President Gene Karpinski joined Mary Jo Kilroy in Columbus, Ohio to give her our endorsement in the election for the 15^th Congressional District. They met for an event highlighting the challenge of global warming and the potential of clean energy.

Also out of the office today was LCV Deputy Legislative Director Tim Greeff, who joined Andrew Rice at the Bergey Wind Power Co. in Norman, Oklahoma to give him our endorsement for the U.S. Senate.

Both Kilroy and Rice, as state legislators, have a history of making the environment a priority in their respective district and state. Their commitment to supporting alternative energy development on a national level will stimulate much needed change in Congress as LCV works towards electing pro-environment members and attain a 60-vote filibuster proof majority in the Senate.
