The Virginia League of Conservation Voters has endorsed 16 Senate candidates and 28 House of Delegates candidates for election in the November General Assembly elections. You can see the list here.
To win an endorsement, candidates had to stand on the right side of the following issues: connecting land use and transportation, encouraging greater local decision making in managing growth, boosting mass transit, protecting natural spaces and working farms, improving solid waste management and recycling, removing pollution from the Chesapeake, boosting renewable sources of energy and energy efficiency, and scenic beautification.
According to a VALCV opinion survey, a solid majority of Virginians support conservation goals. The Virginia legislature has been steadily moving toward improved conservation policies in recent years.
