The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) is spending $7.4 million to elevate the environment to the forefront of the U.S. 2000 elections. An advertising campaign will inform the public about the environmental records of members of Congress and federal candidates, and promote the strong environmental records of select Republican and Democratic congressional candidates in tight races. Notes LCV president Deb Callahan, “The nation is enjoying relative peace and prosperity and voters can afford to focus on issues that pertain to their quality of life.”
Along with promoting “Environmental Champions,” LCV will target its Dirty Dozen – Congressional candidates with poor environmental records – for defeat. 16 of their 25 Dirty Dozen candidates have been defeated. For 1999, the average LCV score of Dirty Dozen designees was 19 percent, their replacements averaged 84 percent.
