The Los Angeles League of Conservation Voters (LALCV) is the only environmental Political Action Committee (PAC) in Los Angeles County. We are directly involved in endorsing and supporting candidates for Mayors, City Councils and Supervisors who exhibit a knowledge of and commitment to preserving and protecting the environment. We also endorse and support environmentally friendly ballot initiatives. LALCV does not take positions on issues that come before legislative bodies.

LALCV is an all volunteer Board; we do not have a staff. Our Board members are a diverse group of people with a commitment to the environment and electoral politics (Board members are listed on this page). When began our work, some 30 years ago, we concentrated almost exclusively on the City of Los Angeles. Beginning in 2000 we began looking at other cities throughout the County and are committed to expanding that involvement.

Our record is impressive. Of the approximately 150 candidates and ballot measures we have endorsed more than 75% have been successful. We have made endorsements in cities as diverse as Agoura Hills, Pasadena, Culver City, San Fernando, Monterey Park, Maywood and Montebello to name a few. But our endorsements carry more than just lending our name. In the past 6 years we have contributed more than $100,000 to candidates and initiatives. We have also sponsored 3 debates most recently between candidates for the Board of Supervisors and the L.A. City Attorney. We spent more than $20,000 on these debates which drew large audiences and were televised.

All of our funds come from contributions from sponsors and people like you. We have two fund raising events each year. At our Spring event we honor elected officials and community groups and individuals who we call Environmental Champions for their contributions to preserving and protecting the environment.
