ABOUT THE TEXAS LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS.  The Texas League of Conservation Voters works to preserve and enhance the quality of life of Texans by making environmental conservation a top priority with Texas elected officials, political candidates and voters.

WE ELECT CHAMPIONS.  With money and other resources, we help elect candidates to the Texas Legislature who will fight for clean air, clean water, and access to public lands, water, fish and other wildlife.  TLCV conducts rigorous  candidate research and we concentrate on the races we can impact.  We educate candidates on how to use pro-conservation positions to win votes.  We put money into hard-hitting, independent media campaigns contrasting the candidates' position on the issues - making sure that an effective message reaches voters. 

In the 2006 election, the TLCV Political Action Committee (PAC) helped elect three challengers who defeated bad incumbents, defended two good incumbents, and helped win two open seats for the conservation community.

The more political money we raise, the bigger our impact on Texas conservation. To give political money, click here.

WE FIGHT AT THE LEGISLATURE.  We aggressively lobby the Texas legislature on the most important conservation bills and work to make sure your voice is heard.  Through our endorsements and campaign work, TLCV create deep, long-term relationships on behalf of the conservation community.  Relationships like these are key to getting our issues addressed, and legislation passed.

WE HOLD POLITICIANS ACCOUNTABLE.  At the end of each legislative session we publish and distribute our Legislative Scorecard.  We rate the performance of each individual legislator on key environmental legislation and describe the key conservation issues.  We then distribute our scorecard to the public.
