The endorsements include currently sitting Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs, who is running for a full term. The Council of State endorsements include Rachel Hunt for Lieutenant Governor, Jeff Jackson for Attorney General, Natasha Marcus for Commissioner of Insurance, Dr. Sarah Taber for Agriculture Commissioner, and Wesley Harris for Treasurer.
Among the legislative candidates are 22 Senate candidates and 44 House candidates. They include 14 incumbents and eight new candidates in the Senate and 29 incumbents and 13 new candidates in the House.
“These incumbent leaders earned our renewed support because they have proven they will stand up for the environment, our democracy, and the health and well-being of every North Carolinian. This includes protecting their right to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and have their vote count at a time when that has never been more important,” said Dan Crawford, director of governmental relations. “With regard to the new candidates, we value their commitment to stand up to polluters, defend our democracy, and advance a positive, pro-conservation, pro-clean energy agenda at every level of state government.”
In 2016 and 2020, NCLCV was instrumental in electing Roy Cooper governor. Last year, NCLCV Conservation PAC endorsed Attorney General Josh Stein in the race to succeed him. We are now working to elect a pro-conservation General Assembly that shares North Carolina’s values in protecting the air we breathe and water we drink.

The North Carolina League of Conservation Voters (NCLCV) is a pragmatic, results-oriented, nonpartisan advocacy organization whose mission is to protect the health and quality of life for all North Carolinians. We elect environmental champions, advocate for environmental policies that protect our communities, and hold elected leaders accountable for their decisions. We have worked for over 50 years to create the political environment that will protect our natural environment.
Fill in your address and zip code below to find out which House and Senate districts you live in.
Conservation PAC staff and volunteer committee members carefully evaluate candidates for state office. Our evaluation criteria includes a candidate’s responses to our written questionnaire, interviews, their environmental voting record, demonstrated leadership on environmental issues, and their commitment to improving environmental protections in North Carolina.
Our nonpartisan strategy focuses on re-electing leaders who have a clear record of support, finding new champions in open seats, and replacing anti-environmental incumbents with conservation champions. Our endorsements and resources are targeted on races where our efforts can have the greatest impact on electoral or policy outcomes.
Because NCLCV advocates for sound environmental policies at the state legislature, we do not make endorsements in local or federal races. We work closely with our colleagues at the national League of Conservation Voters to help inform their endorsements of North Carolina’s congressional candidates.
We encourage you to ask all your candidates — whether local, federal, or those candidates not endorsed by Conservation PAC — where they stand on environmental issues.
From insider looks at environmental legislation from our lobbyist working the halls at the General Assembly, to updates from our national colleagues on pressing federal issues — you can sign up to become an NCLCV Conservation Insider.
