Thinking of Running for Office? LCV can help!

We’re partnering with LCV national and re:power to train people to run in down-ballot races across the United States. Are you up for the challenge?

2020 could be the year you run for office — and we want to help.

For the first time in its history, LCV is holding a non-partisan Candidate Academy to teach the ins and outs of running for office.

This exclusive program, in partnership with re:power, will give diverse environmental leaders who are passionate about their communities the tools they need to run — and win.

We all succeed when individuals who are passionate about the environment and addressing climate change take the leap and run for office. If that sounds like you, then we want you to apply today!

The deadline to apply is January 10, 2020. The training will take place in February and March in Seattle. Space is extremely limited, so apply today! If you are selected, we will be in touch with you soon on next steps.

Statement from Kim Coble, Executive Director, Maryland LCV

January 3, 2020

Immediate Release

Press Contact: Dannielle Lipinski, dlipinski@mdlcv.org, 443-617-7257

Statement from Kim Coble, Executive Director, Maryland League of Conservation Voters in response to:

Environmental Protection Agency’s comment at today’s Chesapeake Bay Commission meeting that the Chesapeake Bay TMDL (the Bay clean up plan) is an “aspirational document” not a regulatory document.

“This is a profoundly sad and disappointing moment in Bay history. After decades of leadership on Bay clean up efforts, we are watching the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) turn its back and walk away from the Chesapeake Bay. EPA is abdicating its role and responsibility by treating the Bay clean up plan as an ‘aspirational document’ and not as the effective model it has been recognized as and proved to be. Maryland LCV is calling on Governor Hogan, as the Chair of the Chesapeake Bay Executive Council, to coordinate an immediate and robust response to EPA’s abdication of its responsibility.”

Under the current clean up plan, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania must develop and fully implement their pollution reduction plans by 2025. This would ensure the ultimate removal of the Chesapeake Bay from the list of dirty waters (the 303d list) https://www.epa.gov/tmdl/overview-listing-impaired-waters-under-cwa-section-303d. The state clean up plans, collectively known as the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load, have been touted as the most effective and successful environmental clean up effort in the country.

2016 Environmental Leadership Awards

Brian Frosh ATTORNEY GENERAL

Brian Frosh has spent his career championing important environmental laws that protect the health and safety of all Marylanders, including the Maryland Recycling Act, a ban on oil drilling in the Chesapeake Bay, the Brownelds Revitalization Act, strict requirements for more ecient automobile emissions standards resulting in reduced carbon emissions and air pollution, and sti penalties for polluting our water and stealing state natural resources. As Maryland’s Attorney General, he now works to ensure those laws are enforced.

Collin O’Mara PRESIDENT/CEO, NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION

Under Collin O’Mara’s leadership, National Wildlife Federation is protecting wildlife ranging from bison to monarch butteries, ensuring healthy waters and sustainable habitats, advancing environmental education, and connecting people with the great outdoors. Prior to NWF, O’Mara led Delaware’s Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control, and he was a primary architect of the City of San Jose’s Green Vision.

JOHN V. KABLER AWARD to Central Maryland Beekeepers Association

This year the Central Maryland Beekeepers Association worked hard in Annapolis – along with other area beekeepers and the Smart on Pesticides Campaign – to lobby legislators and advocate for the Pollinator Protection Act. The “beeks” played an important role in Maryland becoming the first state in the country to pass restrictions on consumer use of toxic neonicitinoid pesticides, which harm bees, birds, butteries, and other wildlife.

LEGISLATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD to Senator Catherine Pugh

Senator Pugh has been a dedicated public servant representing Baltimore City since 1999. In 2007 she was elected to the State Senate where she has served as, among other things, Chair of the Legislative Black Caucus and as Senate Majority Leader. Her commitment to both clean energy and expanding economic opportunities for women and minorities merged in her successful sponsorship of the Clean Energy Jobs Act which expanded the goal of Renewable Portfolio Standard to 25% by the year 2020. She is the Democratic candidate for Mayor of Baltimore City

Your End of the Year Gift!

We are at a turning point. 2018 is a critical electoral year for all of us. All 188 legislators and state-wide officials are up for re-election. We saw what happened in Virginia and New Jersey, and I know that with a little hard work we can elect a pro-environment state government from top to bottom.

Not only does Maryland LCV help state and local environmental candidates get elected — we hold lawmakers accountable for their environmental performances once in office. None of this would be possible without regular people like you and me, along with thousands like us across the state, coming together to support Maryland LCV and the Conservation Voter Movement. Maryland LCV’s Environmental Scorecard is the best tool out there to see which legislators share our environmental values and which ones put special interests first.

Please take this chance to renew YOUR commitment to this important work and every donation made before December 31st will be TRIPLED by a generous donor!

If you prefer to pay by check, you will be given that option on the payment options page of this form.

Tell Governor Hogan to stand up for Maryland’s coast!

Once again, Marylanders who care about our coast must come together to fight against Dirty Energy. We haven’t seen Governor Hogan speak out against opening Maryland’s coast to drilling.

The time is NOW for Governor Hogan’s leadership in protecting and preserving our coastal jobs, ecosystems, and communities. Send your message today urging our Governor to stand with people and oppose offshore drilling as part of Maryland’s clean energy future!

Calling on the County Council to pass CB30 to finalize the Howard County Citizens’ Election Fund

In November, Howard County residents voted to establish the Citizens’ Election Fund directing the County Council to create a new program to curb the influence of large and corporate donors.

Now we’re calling on the County Council to pass CB30 to finalize the Howard County Citizens’ Election Fund in May for a more accountable local government.
