Tennessee Conservation Voters Hosts Nature Votes Chattanooga

Tennessee Conservation Voters (TCV) is hosting Nature Votes Chattanooga, a fund raising reception honoring State Senator Andy Berke on Tuesday from 5:30-7 p.m. at 212 Market St.

"We are celebrating Andy Berke's leadership in Nashville, most notably his outspoken support for a ban of the senselessly destructive practice of mountaintop removal mining," said TCV Executive Director Chris Ford. "Our goal is to achieve a multi-partisan conservation majority to work with Andy in the General Assembly."

Proceeds from Nature Votes Chattanooga will be used to support pro-environmental candidates for Tennessee House and Senate, both incumbents and challengers, on the ballot in November. Tickets for the fundraiser are $60 per person or $100 per couple, and can be purchased online at www.tnconservationvoters.org or reserved by calling Annie Hall at 886-4650.

Tennessee Conservation Voters is a coalition of state conservation groups dedicated to raising voter awareness, advocating stronger laws, and holding Tennessee's elected leaders accountable for safeguarding the State's environment.
