Maryland League of Conservation Voters (LCV) is a nonpartisan civic organization operating as a 501(c)(4) and serving as the political voice for environmental issues in Maryland. Based in Annapolis, Maryland, it is structured as a full-time, staffed organization governed by a volunteer board. The group maintains a comprehensive yearly scorecard evaluating the environmental voting records of state legislators and also grades the governor’s environmental performance, while monitoring agencies and executive appointments. The Maryland LCV conducts advocacy in the Maryland State House, collaborating with the environmental community to push for sound conservation laws and to align state budgeting with environmental priorities. It highlights legislative achievements such as the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act, Stormwater Management Act, Clean Cars Act, Healthy Air Act, and Chesapeake Bay Restoration Act, and seeks to sustain funding for land conservation through Program Open Space. In electoral contexts, the organization endorses candidates, runs targeted campaigns for pro-conservation officials, mobilizes volunteers, educates voters, and elevates environmental issues in public discourse.
