Texas League of Conservation Voters—We elect conservation champions because conservation is a Texas Value.

TLCV

The Texas League of Conservation Voters holds elected officials accountable for their positions
and their votes on clean air, clean water, and open spaces through the publication of a bi-annual
Legislative Scorecard, through messaging in the media and to our statewide membership base,
and by working to raise the profile and the importance of environmental issues at the Capitol
through lobbying, testimony, and building strong relationships with Legislators.

The Texas League of Conservation Voters and the national League of Conservation Voters movement
is widely credited with providing much-needed political muscle to support the policy positions of
other environmental groups and organizations.  When TLCV succeeds, all conservation groups and
issues benefit.

TLCV-PAC

The Texas League of Conservation Voters Political Committee gets involved in races in Texas
where there is a strong pro-conservation incumbent or challenger, and where TLCV-PAC can make
a difference by messaging to voters on conservation issues and providing financial support to
the candidate.

For over ten years, TLCV-PAC has helped elect and re-elect candidates to the Texas State House
and Senate.  In the 2008 election, 26 of 34 leaders in contested races endorsed by the TLCV-PAC
won at the ballot box.  In our 14 top priority races for the Texas House, the pro-conservation leader
won in 11.  In 2010, over 70% of TLCV-PAC endorsed candidates returned to the State Capitol.
