elections

The League of Conservation Voters (LCV), an independent, nonpartisian environmental advocacy organization, has released its 2008 Primary Voter Guide. The guide assigns a score to each candidate based on their proposed policies and lifetime record on environmental issues.

The goal of the LCV and its voter guide is to give citizens the information necessary to choose elected officials shaping the future of environmental and conservation policy. In the latest voter guide, Democratic candidate Senator Barack Obama scored the highest of any candidate in the field.
