LCV Action Fund Endorses Christina Hartman in PA-16 Race

Press Release

The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund, which works to elect candidates who will implement sound environmental policies, today announced its endorsement of Christina M. Hartman for the United States Congress.

"It is a tremendous honor to receive the endorsement of the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund, an organization that I have respected for many years," said Hartman. "As a native of Lancaster, I understand how vitally important it is to be good stewards of our nation's lands. For generations, our bountiful farmland has been the key to our success. We must protect and support our farmland to ensure that it is here for future generations. I thank the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund for their support and I look forward to working with them in Congress. Together, we'll work to ensure future generations of Pennsylvanians and families across the country can enjoy a clean and healthy environment."

"We need Christina Hartman in Congress because she will fight for Pennsylvania families and to leave a clean, healthy planet to our children and grandchildren," said LCV Action Fund President Gene Karpinski. "She is committed to protecting our environment, promoting sustainability and addressing climate change. If elected to Congress, we will be able to count on her to be a strong advocate for clean air, clean water and the preservation of our precious open spaces."

Christina Hartman was born and raised in Manheim Township, in the heart of Pennsylvania's 16th Congressional District. She spent her career in management and development for non-governmental organizations and non-profits, working in international development and human rights. She worked to help promote democracy in places like Afghanistan and Sudan before joining the Joyful Heart Foundation, a national sexual assault and domestic violence survivors' organization, as director of development. On the campaign trail, Hartman has been making environmental protections a top priority. In Congress, she will fight for sustainable development and increased public transportation funding.
