Congressman Donald M. Payne (D-NJ)
has received a 100 percent rating from the League of Conservation Voters
(LCV) for his pro-environment voting record. The LCV, a leading political
organization dedicated to shaping a pro-environment Congress, tracks the
votes of Representatives on several different environment related issues.
These issues include Fast Track international trade negotiating, conservation
of farmland, the national energy plan, the protection of Alaska's Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge, and many others. This score reflects the
Congressman’s continued commitment to issues that affect and are important
to his constituents in the 10th District of New Jersey.
Each year, LCV produces a scorecard that is used to keep track of the
votes of all Members of Congress. The scorecard marks each Member’s
votes as either for or against the continued conservation of the environment.
According to the scorecard, Congressman Payne has voted in support of the
pro-environment action on every one of fourteen votes.
“This rating from the League of Conservation Voters is important to
me as I continue my commitment to the environment and my advocacy for the
well-being of my constituents,” said Congressman Payne.
