LCV Calls on Senate to Confirm Senator Ken Salazar

WASHINGTON, DC - Encouraging the Senate to confirm Senator Ken Salazar as Secretary of the Interior, League of Conservation Voters Senior Vice President for Political Affairs Tony Massaro issued the following statement:

“For twenty-seven years, I have watched Ken Salazar stand up for Colorado’s natural resources and know that he will be a thoughtful and effective steward of the land on which we live, the water we drink and the resources we share. He is a man of integrity, commitment, and a firm belief that science should guide environmental decisions. When America’s resources are at stake, he will ask the right questions and demand the right answers.”

Before joining LCV, Tony Massaro served as the Executive Director of Colorado Conservation Voters. He has worked on environmental issues with Secretary-designate Ken Salazar for 27 years.
