"Tom Latham’s abysmal record in opposing legislation that protects the health and quality of life of all Iowans makes it vital that Iowa Republicans elect Gail Boliver, a leader who is in touch with their values," said Betsy Loyless, LCV political director. "The people of Iowa can count on Gail Boliver to lead the fight to keep their air clean, their water safe, and their open spaces protected."

Gail Boliver understands how important environmental and public health isssues are to the people of the 4th district. He is in favor of preserving delicate wetlands and encouraging farmers to protect open space and water quality. Boliver believes that enforcing the Clean Water Act and making sure factory livestock farms comply with existing law to protect public drinking water should be a top priority for Congress. He also supports increasing fuel efficiency standards to reduce the harmful auto emissions that cause air pollution and smog.

Gail Boliver is LCV's 19th announced endorsement of the 2002 election cycle. For more information on LCV’s endorsed candidates, click here.
