Going into the final days of the election season, the Virginia League of Conservation Voters Political Action Committee has pumped $3.1 million into the races of statewide Democratic candidates and mostly Democratic House of Delegates hopefuls A Political Action Committee is an organization that raises money privately to influence elections or legislation, especially at the federal level. The Virginia League of Conservation Voters serves as the political voice of the state’s conservation community, working to make sure Virginia’s elected officials recognize that our natural heritage is an environmental and economic treasure for all. Virginia LCV protects resources important to all Virginians: clean air and water, thriving communities and rural landscapes, productive farms and forests, historic battlefields and Main Streets, and ample public lands and recreation.
