OAKLAND, CA & WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 8, 2016)—The California League of Conservation Voters CEO Sarah Rose and the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Tiernan Sittenfeld congratulate Jared Huffman (CA-2), Dr. Ami Bera (CA-7), Jerry McNerney (CA-9), Julia Brownley (CA-26), Pete Aguilar (CA-31), Grace Napolitano (CA-32), Linda Sánchez (CA-38), Nanette Barragán (CA-44), Alan Lowenthal (CA-47) and Scott Peters (CA-52):
“We congratulate these outstanding environmental leaders on advancing to the general election. Each of these leaders have worked to protect our air, water, land, and wildlife in their own unique ways throughout their time in public service, from opposing drilling off of the California coast to fighting environmental injustices to finding ways to conserve water during the drought to advancing meaningful solutions to the climate crisis. Their strong showings are huge steps forward for these environmental champions who are on their way to being elected or re-elected to the U.S. House of Representatives where they will continue efforts to grow our clean energy economy, protect our environment, and safeguard the air we breathe and the water we drink.”
ABOUT CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL VOTERS
California Environmental Voters (formerly the California League of Conservation Voters) believes the climate crisis is here and this moment requires transformative change. California has the policy solutions to stop climate change but lacks the political will to do it at the rate and scale that’s necessary. EnviroVoters exists to build the political power to solve the climate crisis, advance justice, and create a roadmap for global action. We organize voters, elect and train candidates, and hold lawmakers accountable for bold policy change. We won’t stop until we have resilient, healthy, thriving communities, and a democracy and economy that is just and sustainable for all.
