The Connecticut League of Conservation Voters (CTLCV) is a bipartisan, statewide, nonprofit organization dedicated to giving our environment a voice at the Capitol.
We work to elect champions who will fight for the air we breathe, water we drink, and values we share. During session, we inform lawmakers and the public about key environmental priorities, track critical votes, and hold our leaders accountable in our annual Scorecard.
CTLCV identifies and tracks state legislation introduced in Connecticut's General Assembly that will impact the state's natural resources. State Legislators are notified about these bills through periodic Scorecard Alerts and asked to cast a pro-environment vote. After each session, CTLCV produces an Environmental Scorecard that grades legislators on their overall votes and makes this information widely available to the public.
Each year, CTLCV endorses political candidates for state and local office who have demonstrated leadership and pledge to make the environment a high legislative priority. Endorsements for the 2014 election cycle are being announced beginning in August 2014.
CTLCV works to get more conservation-minded people involved in the political process by providing the tools and information they need to make informed choices at election time. CTLCV is helping to build a stronger environmental presence in the State Legislature and empowering Connecticut residents to protect the environment.
