LCV Action Fund Announces First Round of Congressional Endorsements

Jul 27, 2023

LCV Action Fund is all-in to help win a pro-environment trifecta in 2024.

Washington D.C. – The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund, which works to elect pro-environment candidates, announced today the first round of congressional endorsements in the 2024 election cycle for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives— 85 incumbent climate and democracy champions and 5 new candidates in key districts.

“LCV Action Fund is proud to endorse this initial slate of climate champions, and we’re all in to help them win and to ensure we have a pro-environment, pro-democracy trifecta after the 2024 elections,” said LCV Action Fund Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Tiernan Sittenfeld. “As our nation and our planet suffer from this summer’s deadly and devastating impacts of the climate crisis, it’s more clear than ever that we need to elect and re-elect congressional champions who will fight for effective and equitable climate solutions at the scale and pace that science and justice demand. On the heels of Democrats delivering historic climate, clean energy, and environmental justice progress for their constituents last year, extreme MAGA Republicans are making polluter profits their top priority, even as communities face record-breaking extreme heat, droughts, floods and more.  We must defend and expand the pro-environment, pro-democracy majority in the Senate, take back the House, and re-elect President Biden and Vice President Harris so that together we can continue fighting for a healthy, affordable and equitable clean energy future for all.”
