The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) works to turn environmental values into national, state, and local priorities, and the 2016 Environmental Facebook summarizes the backgrounds and environmental positions of newly elected federal candidates who were endorsed and/or financially supported by LCV Action Fund and/or state LCV partners. As in past election cycles, LCV Action Fund supported federal candidates who demonstrated a commitment to leading on climate change, promoting clean energy, and protecting our air, water, land and wildlife. It is worth noting that there are other pro-environment new members of Congress who are not included in this document for various reasons, and we look forward to working with them as well.

In the 2016 election cycle, LCV Action Fund endorsed Hillary Clinton for President as well as candidates in 17 U.S. Senate races and 87 U.S. House races. This cycle, we endorsed more candidates who better reflect the diversity of our country, including more women and people of color, than ever before. For a complete list of LCV Action Fund endorsements, including those of incumbents who were re-elected, please visit: www.lcv.org/endorsements.

The 2016 Environmental Facebook includes 4 new members of the U.S. Senate and 20 new members of the U.S. House. LCV is committed to continue working with both new and returning members of Congress to protect our environment and our health, to tackle climate change, and to build a clean energy future.
