Major environmental group backs Hillary Clinton in its first presidential endorsementBy Abby Phillip May 31 at 6:30 AM
A major environmental group, the NRDC Action Fund, endorsed Hillary Clinton on Tuesday in its first political endorsement in a presidential election.
In a statement, the NRDC Action Fund, a political affiliate of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said the unprecedented endorsement reflects a need for left-leaning groups to unite against Donald Trump, the likely Republican nominee.
Hillary Clinton is an environmental champion with the passion, experience and savvy to build on President Obamas environmental legacy, Rhea Suh, president of the NRDC Action Fund, said in a statement. More than any other candidate running, Hillary Clinton understands the environmental challenges America faces, and her approach to solving them is grounded in the possibility and promise our democracy affords us.
