Which
candidates do we support? |
The
LOHV is a strictly non-partisan organization,
and has endorsed candidates running on the Democratic,
Republican, Green, and Working Families Party lines. We
endorse candidates strictly on their expressed commitment
to work with us on passing legislation to protect animals,
and for incumbents, on their record on these issues.

November
3rd Election, 2009: Results |
| |
Well, the results are
in. Regrettably,
all of our judicial candidates and two of our municipal candidates
were defeated in this election. We hope they'll try again when
the opportunity to run presents itself again — because we
stand behind our belief that they were the right candidates
for Pennsylvania and our local municipalities. We congratulate
the winners — and especially our victorious candidate,
Mayor Rick Gray — and look forward to working with those
in office to improve Pennsylvania's reputation throughout
the nation (and thanks to many of the atrocties our state
laws still allow) and the world.

| Mayor of Lancaster City |
| Rick
Gray, incumbent (D) WINNER !! |
The
League's support of Mayor Gray goes back to his being the catalyst
to the end of crow poisoning. His predecessor, Charlie Smithgall,
had signed on to the ill-conceived plan to kill crows with
a dangerous toxin (DRC-1339) as a means to remove them from
undesirable roosting locations throughout Lancaster City
and surrounding townships. Mayor Gray took office before
the second year of poisoning began, and decided that the
City would not continue to be involved, and that there had
to be a more intelligent and humane way to manage the crows.
His decision created unrest within the rest of the participating
townships, and with the help of Supervisor Heidi Wheaton, a
coalition to humanely and safely manage the crows was formed.

leadership on many fronts: http://www.grayformayor.org/
