The Washington Conservation Voters, a leading environmental interest group, announced Thursday that they are giving Calvin Goings (D-Puyallup) their sole endorsement for Pierce County Executive.
"For over a decade Calvin Goings has shown a record of environmental leadership on many of our most pressing community priorities," said Sarah Lowe, the co-chair of Pierce County WCV, in a statement.
Washington Conservation Voters, the interest group that dubs itself "the political voice for the environment", is endorsing Chris Gregoire for Governor. They will announce the endorsement this afternoon at Gregoire's final bus tour stop in Seattle. The group also backed Gregoire in 2004.
"I don't want to vote for a rock star. I want somebody who is going to take care of the issues."
