Kempthorne’s Conservation Record
Idaho Governor Dick Kempthorne's League of Conservation Voters lifetime voting score: 1%.
That's right. While in the U.S. Senate, Kempthorne voted in favor of the environment on only 1% of the votes scored by LCV.
If you are interested in knowing more about his conservation voting record, you'll find a nice summary on the Endangered Species Coalition's web site. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committe is scheduled to vote on his nomination this Wednesday (May 10) at 9:30 a.m. mountain time.

Center for Native Ecosystems
Our mission, simply put, is to save endangered species across Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. We play an "urgent care" role for the imperiled plants and wildlife most at risk of extinction, buying some time to figure out the long term solutions. We also work hard to recover these species, restoring them and their habitats to health. And we blog because doing so gives us a great way of keeping folks a little more plugged in to what's happening in the world of endangered species advocacy, offering some insight into what we do and how we do it, and fostering conversation among our supporters, our staff, and others.
