WASHINGTON -- The League of Conservation Voters (LCV), the political voice of the national environmental and conservation community, today announced its endorsement of Colorado Attorney General Ken Salazar (D) for election in Colorado’s Democratic Senatorial primary. In its endorsement, LCV noted Mr. Salazar’s impressive environmental credentials and call for a sustained national effort to reduce America’s dependence on imported oil by focusing on renewable and alternative energy sources.

"Simply put, Ken Salazar’s exemplary record of public service combined with his long-term dedication to preserving open spaces and his commitment to cleaning up environmental pollution is the reason LCV is endorsing his Senate candidacy" said Betsy Loyless, LCV Vice President for Policy. "In particular, Attorney General Ken Salazar understands that Coloradans, like all Americans, need long term solutions for addressing water issues, air pollution and toxic waste clean-up. Salazar is the right person for the tough job of U.S. Senator."

Mr. Salazar led the effort to create Great Outdoors Colorado conservation program, and as head of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources reformed the state’s mining, gas and oil laws. As Attorney General, among other notable accomplishments, Salazar created the first-ever Environmental Prosecutions Unit and fought against Colorado "Referendum A," a misguided water-use ballot measure that was eventually voted down in all 64 counties.
