LCV's independent campaigns are a key element of our strategy to craft a pro-environment Congress -- because they aggressively target candidates where it matters most, at the ballot box. Based on strategic political targeting and the candidate's votes and actions on the environment, our campaigns educate voters about the records of pro- and anti-environment candidates.

2006 Campaigns
LCV ran independent campaigns in several key 2006 races.  LCV's involvement was a key factor in re-electing environmental leaders and ousting anti-conservation incumbents.

Dirty Dozen
Our signature Dirty Dozen program targets anti-environment candidates in campaigns where we have a serious chance to affect the outcome. Since we started the Dirty Dozen in 1996, LCV has defeated 43 out 67 Members named to the Dirty Dozen, or 64%. -- including many "undefeatable" incumbents.

Additions to the 2008 Dirty Dozen have begun. This year's list includes Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), Rep. Joe Knollenberg (D-MI) and Bob Schaffer. The remaining members of this year's Dirty Dozen will be released soon.

Endorsements
LCV Action Fund's Endorsements offered voters a guide to determining where their Member of Congress stands on the environment. Each election year we select from a list of candidates that have demonstrated a commitment to clean air and water, preserving our natural resources and ensuring a healthy environment for future generations
