With Primaries behind us, General Election campaigns are now in full swing!

CTLCV will be endorsing candidates for State House and Senate races who promise to make the environment a priority if elected or re-elected to the Connecticut General Assembly. We will announce the endorsements in early September.

Both Incumbents and challengers are seeking endorsement for their environmental positions. For a taste of what the incumbents have been up to in the last legislative session, check out our 2010 Environmental Scorecard at www.ctlcv.org/scorecard. The CTLCV scorecard grades lawmakers on their records voting for or against environmental bills. CTLCV has also posted short overviews of key environmental issues facing Connecticut in its 2010 Environmental Briefing Book at www.conservationeducation.org.

So how is your elected state legislator doing on the environment? As we consider endorsements, we welcome your input. Feel free to reply to lori.brown@ctlcv.org
