|  League of Conservation Voters Action Fund Endorses Sen. Karen Carter Peterson for CongressLeading Climate Action Organization Joins Growing, Progressive Coalition Supporting Sen. Peterson’s Candidacy
 New Orleans, LA – Monday, the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund, which works to elect pro-environment candidates, announced their endorsement of Sen. Karen Carter Peterson in Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District.

The League of Conservation Voters is a national movement with more than two million members and grassroots organizing programs across the country working to influence environmental policy and elect leaders who will fight for climate action.

“As a state senator, Karen Carter Peterson has been a strong advocate for climate action, clean energy, and drinking water protections for all Louisiana communities. She has been a leading voice for environmental and climate justice in a state where communities of color have long suffered from the devastating impacts of environmental racism, from Cancer Alley and beyond,” said LCV Action Fund Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Tiernan Sittenfeld. “We are thrilled to support her campaign in this special election because we know she will continue her fight to advance racially, economically and socially just environmental and climate policies when she gets to Congress.”

“Nowhere in the U.S. has felt the devastating impacts of climate change and pollution more than the 2nd Congressional District. Deadly hurricane seasons and flooding are destroying our homes and displacing communities while toxic pollution poisons our water and air. We can and must take urgent action to protect our future and create a better home for our families,” Sen. Karen Carter Peterson said. “In Congress, I’ll work to pass a Green New Deal that creates thousands of high-paying, green jobs and brings clean air, clean water, and clean energy to all Louisianans. Together, we’ll hold toxic polluters accountable and build a thriving, equitable, and globally competitive clean energy economy that puts workers and communities first. I’m proud to have the support of the League of Conservation Voters and look forward to working with LCV to tackle the climate crisis head-on.” 

LCV Action Fund joins a growing list of endorsers supporting Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, including the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC, Leader Stacey Abrams, EMILY’s List, Democracy for America, Our Revolution, Elect Democratic Women, Higher Heights, Gov. Howard Dean, the Louisiana Democratic Party, the Independent Women’s Organization, the New Orleans Coalition, State Representative Larry Selders, State Representative Candace Newell, State Representative Mandie Landry, State Representative Matt Willard, New Orleans Councilmember Jay H. Banks, Baton Rouge Councilmembers Carolyn Coleman and Erika Green, St. James Parish Councilmember Clyde Cooper, and Ascension Parish Councilmember Travis Turner, JC Romero, Orleans Parish School Board Member, Katie Baudoin, Orleans Parish School Board Member, Olin Parker, Orleans Parish School Board Member, Julie Blouin, Ascension Parish School Board Member, BESE Board Member Preston Castille and Former BESE Board Member Jada Lewis.
