"Greens Put $3M into NC Senate Race"

"The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) and an affiliated group are putting $3 million into a home-stretch advertising campaign against Sen. Richard Burr’s (R-N.C.) reelection.

The television and digital ads from the LCV and its Victory Fund paint Burr as a Washington insider and a close ally to oil and other fossil fuels who hasn’t supported clean energy policies.

“He’s been in Washington two decades, and Burr’s got plenty to show for it,” a narrator in the ad says.

“Like the hundreds of thousands Burr’s taken from oil and energy companies,” it continues, “and the billions in tax breaks he’s voted for them.”"
