The 2008 NCL Early Endorsements Are Here!
Our early endorsements are out! The Nevada Conservation League's Board of Directors has endorsed a few of our pro-conservation legislators who are facing contested primary elections. See below to find out which legislators need your help to win on August 12th!
Senator Bill Raggio - Washoe County Senate District 3
Senate Majority Leader Bill Raggio is the longest serving legislator in Nevada history and he has always been a friend of Nevada's air, land, water and wildlife. The 2009 legislative session promises to be one of the most important in state history, and Nevada needs Senator Raggio's steady hand at the helm.
Senator Steven Horsford - Clark County Senate District 4
Senate Minority Leader Steven Horsford has been a strong leader in only his first term in the Senate. As a result, he was recently elected to the Minority Leader position, the youngest Senator in state history to hold the position.
Assemblyman David Parks - Clark County Senate District 7
David Parks has been a consistent voice for conservation in his long term in the Assembly, sporting a 91% lifetime rating. Now he's running for the Senate to fill the shoes of conservation champion Dina Titus.
Assemblyman John Marvel - Assembly District 32
John Marvel has a lifetime of experience in the Nevada Legislature, and he has used that knowledge on many occasions to protect Nevada's public lands for all of our benefit.
Assemblyman Mark Manendo - Assembly District 18
Mark Manendo has been in the Assembly since 1994, and he has always been a reliable vote for conservation with a 95% lifetime rating.
Assemblywoman Sheila Leslie - Assembly District 27
Sheila Leslie is the definition of a conservation champion. She is the only legislator in state history to score a 100% on every conservation scorecard ever published. Nevadans need Assemblywoman Leslie to make sure that protection of our environment is a top priority.
Assemblyman David Bobzien - Assembly District 24
David Bobzien has only been in the Assembly for one term and he has already proven himself to be a leading force on conservation issues. Conservationists around the state need voices like Assemblyman Bobzien that understand and care about the issues important to us all.
Assemblyman James Ohrenschall - Assembly District 12
James Ohrenschall is not afraid to push the envelope when it comes to protecting Nevada's environment. Assemblyman Ohrenschall had the vision to introduce a bill to cut global warming pollution from tailpipes and he needs to go back to Carson City to finish the job.
