Georgia Conservation Voters Endorses Pat Gardner in Primary Election

The Georgia Conservation Voters is pleased to announce its endorsement of incumbent Representative Pat Gardner for election to the Georgia General Assembly in 2004. Representative Gardner has demonstrated a history of commitment to a clean and healthy environment, and is the best candidate for Georgia’s environment in her primary race for the House seat in the 57th District.

Earlier this year, the Georgia Conservation Voters presented Representative Gardner with an Environmental Leadership Award to acknowledge her outstanding leadership in meeting the extraordinary challenges posed to Georgia’s environment during the 2004 legislative session. Jason Rooks, executive director of the Georgia Conservation Voters, announced the endorsement last week. “With Representative Gardner’s help, we were able to prevail once again in our fight to preserve our natural resources. She understands the balance between growth and protecting our water and land for future generations.”

“I am excited that the conservation community is behind me in this race,” says Gardner. “I appreciate the great importance of conserving our state’s natural resources and will continue my work to protect them for my constituents and for all of Georgia’s children.”
