Washington, D.C. – In response to the conversation at the CNN Democratic town hall tonight, LCV National Press Secretary Seth Stein issued the following statement:

“Tonight, Hillary again underscored why she is the most qualified person to be president. Her passion for meeting the climate crisis head-on, as well as her stellar record and experience, make her the absolute best choice in the Democratic or GOP field. While the leading candidates in the GOP field all spout various forms of climate denialism – Trump outright calling it a hoax, Rubio admitting he isn’t a scientist while refuting settled science, and Cruz saying it’s a liberal plot to allow the government to take over people’s lives – Hillary has the plan to build upon President Obama’s legacy of environmental protections and climate action.”
