LCV's Oregon efforts pay off

The League of Conservation Voters made electing Jeff Merkley to the U.S. Senate one of their top priorities in 2008.

LCV, which works to turn environmental values into national priorities, served as an independent voice in support of Jeff Merkley’s candidacy and energy policies throughout the race, promoting his long-term leadership on energy and environmental issues. 

LCV's outreach programs contacted voters in Oregon 111,937 times in support of both Obama and Merkley, while LCV’s television ad, “One, Two, Three,” aired more than 1,150 times statewide. You can still view the ad if you missed it on TV.

In total, LCV spent approximately $350,000 in support of Obama and Merkley in Oregon. And thanks to the interest and involvement of thousands of Oregonians, it paid off.
