“Virginia is already experiencing the impacts of climate change and needs leaders who will always stand up for the environment. Jane Dittmar understands both the threat of climate change and the economic opportunity there is in making Virginia a leader in clean energy,” said LCV Action Fund President Gene Karpinski. “In Congress, she will continue to build on her strong record of environmental leadership and putting Virginia families first.”
“As a small businesswoman and local elected official, Jane Dittmar understands that we can have both a healthy environment and a strong economy,” said Virginia League of Conservation Voters Executive Director Michael Town. “She is a tireless advocate devoted to protecting Virginians’ air, land and water, and grow our economy by investing in infrastructure and good-paying clean energy jobs.”
“It is an honor to be endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund,” Dittmar said. “The LCV and I both know that protecting our environment isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s how we secure our planet for our children’s future and generations to come. The time for questioning the existence of climate change has long passed; it is our responsibility to take action now to mitigate the damage that has been done. I look forward to working for environmental protection and clean energy investment when I am in Congress.”
