Election 2010: Endorsements to be announced next week

Oregon's 2010 Primary Election is May 18 and OLCV has already been working to ensure that Oregon voters elect leaders who protect Oregon's natural legacy. OLCV's volunteer steering committees have been interviewing dozens of candidates around the state who have applied for the OLCV endorsement.

Starting next week, OLCV will be unveiling a long list of endorsements for races around the state.

OLCV has already announced a number of endorsements for 2010. Read our growing list of endorsements and stay tuned next week, when that list will grow even longer. 

Here is a sampling of the endorsements OLCV is now considering:

• Oregon Governor (to be announced after the gubernatorial debate March 30)
• More than 20 Oregon Senate and House District races
• Salem Mayor
• Metro Councilor, Position 1
• Clackamas, Jackson, Lane, Marion, Multnomah and Washington County Commissions
• Beaverton, Eugene and Portland City Councils

Candidates at all levels of Oregon government, from local water boards to gubernatorial candidates, seek out the OLCV seal of approval because they know that Oregon voters vote with their environmental values. They earn the OLCV endorsement, which is ultimately approved by the OLCV PAC Board, with a proven track record on environmental issues. Once a candidate is endorsed by OLCV, OLCV’s PAC may support the campaign with staff time, volunteers and/or other resources.
