First Round of Environmental Endorsements Announced for Maryland Senators and Delegates
Candidates with Proven Conservation Records and Demonstrated Leadership
Published: Thursday, June 10, 2010 7:00 am Source: Maryland League of Conservation Voters(Annapolis, MD) Today the Maryland League of Conservation Voters released its first round of
endorsed candidates for Attorney General, Comptroller, Senate and the House of Delegates in
the 2010 state elections. The 16 Senate, 41 House, and statewide endorsed candidates have all
demonstrated pro-conservation records, leadership on environmental issues, and an open-door
policy when it comes to working with the environmental community.
Earlier this year, the League endorsed Governor Martin O’Malley for re-election.
“These candidates walk the walk – they’ve shown they don’t just vote for pro-conservation
legislation; they actively champion our cause in the fight for Maryland’s air, land, water, and
people,” said Cindy Schwartz, Executive Director of the Maryland League of Conservation
Voters. “As we continue our efforts to restore the Chesapeake Bay and our waterways, lead the
way to a clean energy economy, and leave the state in better shape for future generations,
Marylanders must have elected officials who speak out for the environment. These elected
officials are the frontline who can be counted on to do the right thing.”
Every year, the Maryland League of Conservation Voters (LCV) evaluates candidate
questionnaires and considers legislative work and leadership on behalf of the environment.
Before announcing endorsements, the League sent a questionnaire to every candidate with more
than 40 questions aimed at examining candidates’ positions, records, and plans for protecting
Maryland’s air, land, water, and people. Additionally, the Board of Directors and staff conduct
interviews with dozens of candidates for legislative office—as well as for Comptroller, Attorney
General, and Governor. In the 2010 elections, Maryland LCV will actively work to get selected
pro-conservation candidates elected.
More endorsements will be released in the coming weeks and months.
“At the Maryland League of Conservation Voters, we are dedicated to passing strong
environmental legislation, which is why who we elect matters—particularly at the state level,
where we have a great opportunity to make a substantial difference by increasing the
conservation majority in the Maryland General Assembly.”
