Back in June, I took my daughters to see the Al Gore film, An Inconvenient Truth, the day it opened in Tucson. The girls and I were riveted by the message that we need to act NOW to slow global warming. Even my 7-year-old understood that this was her future Gore was talking about, and they both spoke of a personal need to take action to create a sustainable Arizona and preserve our world.

I want to take action in the Arizona Legislature, and I will be working closely with our state’s environmental organizations to make sure that our state (and world) will remain livable for humans and nature alike throughout my daughters’ lifetimes and that of their descendants.

It is for this reason that I’m extremely happy to have received the endorsement of the Arizona League of Conservation Voters today. The League states in their letter:

“You have received this endorsement in recognition of the strong pro-conservation record you have built as an activist in your community, as well as your comprehensive understanding of those issues we consider to be most crucial to Arizona’s future.

“The Arizona League of Conservation Voters urges District 28’s conservation-minded citizens to vote for you in the September 12th primary.”
