A coalition of major environmental groups endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for president Monday.
In statements just over a day after President Joe Biden dropped out of his reelection race and Harris launched her campaign, the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund, NRDC Action Fund, the Sierra Club and Clean Energy for America Action cheered her work with Biden and her previous political record.
“Whether holding polluters accountable as San Francisco District Attorney and California Attorney General, leading the charge on electric school buses in the U.S. Senate, or casting the deciding vote on the biggest investment ever in climate, clean energy and environmental justice and leading on climate on the world stage as Vice President, Kamala Harris has long been a climate champion,” Tiernan Sittenfeld, LCV Action Fund’s senior vice president of government affairs, said in a statement.
“LCV Action Fund is proud to support her historic candidacy and to continue working together to protect our climate, defend our democracy, and much more over the next four years,” she said.
