We endorse Environmental Champions & build power in Hartford.
When it comes to protecting Connecticut’s environment, voters trust CTLCV’s endorsements to guide them toward candidates who will make a positive impact for our future. Our mission is to endorse and help elect pro-environment leaders who will serve as crucial allies in advancing legislation that promotes sustainability, clean energy, and environmental justice.
Endorsements will be released on a rolling basis in early Fall 2026.
The Endorsement Process
CTLCV endorses candidates that will fight for our environment and our future. To be considered for an endorsement, candidates must complete a questionnaire about their positions on pressing environmental issues.Our team evaluates candidates for endorsement based on their environmental records, survey responses, and their leadership in protecting our environment, climate, and democracy.
In tandem, our Independent Political Action Committee (CTLCV PAC) helps to elect Environmental Champions by independently supporting select endorsed candidates.
