Washington D.C. – The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund, which works to elect pro-environment candidates, announced today, Earth Day, the new endorsements of seven candidates for election to the U.S. House of Representatives.

“This Earth Day is a critical reminder that our fight against the climate crisis and pollution depends on leaders in Congress who will prioritize the health and rights of communities over Big Polluters and special interests, especially communities of color and communities with low wealth who are the most impacted by extreme weather and pollution,” said LCV Action Fund Senior Vice President for Government Affairs Tiernan Sittenfeld. “LCV Action Fund is thrilled to endorse these candidates for Congress to protect the health of our communities, clean water and clean air, and a free and fair democracy for future generations.”
