Lawmakers and governments don’t always protect the environment and democracy unless they are held accountable. Why this is important for folks: These lawmakers and government officials are making important decisions on your utility bills, your water, your air, and NC’s democracy. When they put polluters or special interests first, our communities pay the price through higher costs, dirtier air, and unsafe drinking water. That’s why it’s critical for voters to stay informed, speak out, and support leaders who put people and the planet first. Together, we can ensure that those in power are making decisions that reflect the values and needs of all North Carolinians, not just a privileged few.
We work to elect leaders who champion clean air, water, and energy at the state level. We combine resources and expertise to elect leaders who push for lasting, pro-environment policy.

The NCLCV Environmental Scorecard is our annual report that tracks how state lawmakers vote on key issues affecting North Carolina’s air, water, energy, natural resources, and democracy. It provides a clear, transparent record of whether elected officials are standing up for the environment or siding with polluters and special interests. By shining a light on these decisions, the Scorecard empowers voters to hold leaders accountable and demand stronger protections for our communities and planet so you know who is fighting for environmental protections, and who is not.

NCLCV played a huge role in my reelection. They were able to reach voters who may have been reluctant to learn more about a Democrat and their messaging made points that were complimentary to my own. It was particularly helpful to have their focus in my district when I needed to redirect my own focus to hurricane recovery. I am grateful for the work NCLCV does in the environmental advocacy space.

“In tight races, such as mine, every bit of support helps. I appreciate the support from the League of Conservation Voters and the continuous work they do to support North Carolina.”
-Representative Dante Pittman
“As a first-time candidate running in a toss-up district, I can say with certainty that every single resource and ounce of support contributed to our campaign’s success. Earning the NCLCV endorsement wasn’t just tactically helpful — it helped me build immediate trust with voters and connect with them about our shared values and priorities. I am so grateful for NCLCV’s serious investment in helping build the future we want to see here in North Carolina.”
