CONCORD, New Hampshire, January 27, 2004 (ENS) - The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) has given its endorsement to Democratic presidential hopeful Senator John Kerry. The endorsement is the earliest in the organization's 34 year history and is the first time the LCV has endorsed a candidate before a party's nominee has been determined.

Deb Callahan, president of the LCV, said the current field of Democratic candidates is "filled with environmental friends" but that Kerry is "clearly the strongest environmentalist in the field."

"John Kerry is the candidate to defeat President Bush, who has compiled the worst environmental record in the history of our nation," Callahan said.

The League of Conservation Voters will now work in New Hampshire and in other upcoming primary states to generate support for Kerry.
