Greens vs. Greens in the 6th Congressional District

State Sen. Emily Randall made major inroads with the environmentalist vote with an endorsement from a key conservation group in the race for Democratic Rep. Derek Kilmer’s U.S. House seat.

Randall’s campaign blasted out the news Monday that the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund is now among the Bremerton Democrat’s list of cheerleaders. The endorsement might be a watershed moment in the 6th District’s intra-party face-off between Randall and Public Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz.

The League of Conservation Voters has helped send lawmakers to statehouses and Congress for more than 50 years. Endorsements from the League can make or break candidates’ chances with environmentalists. The race for the 6th CD is drawing tons of cash and every green thumbs-up could decide who the 6th sends to the other Washington.

Randall’s ever-growing endorsement list includes U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, Planned Parenthood, Washington House Speaker Laurie Jinkins, whose Tacoma district is in the 6th, departing Senate Majority Leader Andy Billig, and former Public Lands Commissioner Peter Goldmark.
