LCV Action Fund Backs Nine House Candidates Focused on Clean Energy
The LCV Action Fund announced endorsements for nine U.S. House candidates and incumbents, including Representatives Mark DeSaulnier and Jared Moskowitz. The group said it is supporting leaders who will lower energy costs, build a clean energy economy, and protect clean air, water, public lands, and democracy. A spokesperson criticized Trump and MAGA Republicans for prioritizing polluters and corporate allies over people and the planet.
The League of Conservation Voters Action Fund announced nine House endorsements on Sept. 24, 2026. Two are current members: Mark DeSaulnier of California’s 10th District and Jared Moskowitz of Florida’s 25th. Seven are challengers or open-seat candidates: Leela Gray, Pia Dandiya, Patty Garcia, Callie Barr, Matt Little, Brad Lander, and Nancy Lacore.
The federal PAC says it backs officeholders who work to reduce household energy expenses, expand cleaner power, and protect democratic institutions. It reports helping elect 101 senators and 513 representatives since the 1990 cycle. A senior government-affairs official, Sara Chieffo, contended that Trump and MAGA Republicans side with polluters and corporate interests over communities and the environment.
These endorsements could shape House races by directing money and volunteer attention to selected candidates. Voters in those districts may see more climate-focused messaging, while energy and environmental policy debates could gain prominence. If backed candidates win, their decisions may affect regulations, public lands, and clean-energy incentives. The broader public could feel effects through energy prices, environmental quality, and democratic representation, though electoral outcomes remain uncertain.
