The OLCV Endorsement Process

All candidates who wish to gain an OLCV endorsement must first fill out a comprehensive questionnaire asking them to describe their position on a variety of relevant environmental issues and what kind of environmental leader they intend to be if elected.

Following review of the questionnaires, OLCV conducts face-to-face interviews with individual candidates. We consider each candidate's environmental record, their level of commitment to protecting our environment and their leadership skills.  We also try to determine if they are a serious contender for the office they are seeking.

All endorsement recommendations are reviewed and finalized by the OLCV PAC Board of Directors.

There is one exception to this process: if an incumbent running for re-election to the same seat,has scored 100% on OLCV's Environmental Scorecard, then they are automatically endorsed for re-election.
