The Nevada Conservation League has been the political voice for Nevada's environmental community since 2002. Each election cycle, we endorse the candidates for state office that will make the protection of our air, land, water and wildlife a top priority.
We are proud to announce our endorsements for the 2012 election listed below. Each of these candidates either has a strong record on environmental issues or has proven through our interview process that they will place a high priority on protecting our state’s natural resources. These endorsements follow our early endorsements that were issued in March. Endorsements were not considered for candidates running unopposed.
Many of these races will be very competitive, in both the primary and general election. Please contact us if you’d like to help an NCL-endorsed candidate. Pro-environment candidates need our help and we need to support them to build a more pro-conservation legislature.
One race in particular warrants special attention. We have endorsed Patricia Spearman in Senate District 1. In the 2011 legislative session, Senator John Lee sponsored SB 271, a bill that will remove Nevada from the Tahoe Regional Planning Compact in four years. Senator Lee pushed this legislation through without working with anyone in the environmental community and showed that he is willing to sacrifice one of our nation’s great treasures to eliminate restrictions for developers. Ms. Spearman has demonstrated through our candidate interview process that she will be a strong champion for Nevada’s environment.
This election, the stakes couldn't be higher. If we are to expand renewable energy and conserve our public lands, wildlife and natural treasures, we need strong, effective representation in Carson City.
We need your help!
Thank you again for your support.
Sincerely
Kyle Davis, Nevada Conservation League Political Director
