WASHINGTON, D.C.—The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Tiernan Sittenfeld congratulates Catherine Cortez Masto (NV-Sen) and Ruben Kihuen (NV-4) for their victories in the Nevada Democratic primary:

“Catherine Cortez Masto and Ruben Kihuen are both champions for Nevada’s public lands and clean energy future, and we congratulate them for their wins in the primary. They have proven time and again that they are committed to advocating for solar, wind, and geothermal jobs for Nevadans and preserving our most treasured natural landscapes. LCV Action Fund is excited to continue helping both Cortez Masto and Kihuen defeat their extreme anti-environment opponents this November.”
