Turning environmental values into priorities for Texas

Ring in Conservation with Bell

In 2006, TLCV-PAC endorsed Chris Bell for Governor of Texas. He deserved our endorsement for governor then, and he deserves our endorsement for the Texas Senate today because:

Chris Bell is committed to creating the clean air, clean energy policies that will improve air quality for our kids and create the green-collar jobs that will rebuild the Texas energy economy.

Today TLCV-PAC is working to make sure that Chris Bell can win his runoff election December 16th against Joan Huffman. He can do it - with our help. Making your gift right now to TLCV-PAC will help in two ways:

Your gift says, "Let's elect Chris Bell to the Senate!"

Your gift says, "Let's make sure Chris Bell knows Texans expect him to stand up for environmental values once elected."

Now that's a Texas two-step that can help a good conservation leader waltz into the Texas Capitol!

Please give now. And thank you.

You know we can do it, right? The League's PAC - with generous help from lots of friends across Texas - helped re-elect pro-conservation leaders like Rep. Hubert Vo, elect pro-conservation challengers like Joe Moody, and defeat bad incumbents like Rep. Tony Goolsby. We can do it for Chris Bell, too. But only with your help.

Early voting starts in 2 weeks.

Finish the Job

Texas League of Conservation Voters PAC committed to electing two new pro-conservation legislators to the Texas Senate on Election Day, and we came really close. Wendy Davis defeated Senator Kim Brimer for District 10 in Tarrant County, and Chris Bell landed in a runoff with Joan Huffman for District 17.

We've got to send Chris Bell to the Senate, and we can do it by helping him win his runoff.


TLCV-PAC can help Chris Bell get elected to the Senate - if you help today.

Chris Bell is committed to clean air and clean energy for the Gulf Coast and for Texas. He's going to deliver on Ike recovery efforts, and he's going to be an advocate for addressing climate change which makes hurricanes bigger and worse. His opponent will deliver more of what we've had too much of for too long: support for anti-conservation policies that help the polluters and the insurance companies get richer.

Texas needs to create the green collar jobs that will build our future clean energy economy. Joan Huffman won't be able to do that. Chris Bell is the right person for the job.

Help the League's PAC send Chris Bell to the Senate. Senator Bell will be a voice for common sense, pro-conservation change in Texas. Please give now.

Senate Endorsements

Today the Texas League of Conservation Voters Political Committee endorsed three candidates for the Texas Senate.

Joe Jaworski is a great candidate who will deliver sound environmental leadership in the Senate. But just as importantly, he will replace Sen. "Toxic Mike" Jackson. Senator Jackson has been the opposite of a friend to the Texas environment during his tenure representing District 17, which stretches along the Gulf Coast in the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Ike. Because so many Texans have been displaced and uprooted as a result of Ike, assuring that everyone in the District has an opportunity to vote is the most important priority for electing a pro-conservation senator for District 17. Voter registration closes on Monday, October 6th, and the State of Texas has NOT decided to extend voter registration in the hurricane-impacted areas.

Mike and Ike - both are bad news for Texas.
