LVM w Vilsack. He will call me back. In the meantime, I talked w his team.
This is hard for Aggies and Iowa. There is no place to really go on this.
Vilsack has said we need folks to come together for common sense solutions
and in the meantime, he wants to help farmers with buffer strips and paying
farmers to plant away from waterways. No one is really happy with that but
that's all he has.

Hi –

I had two good conversations with NRDC Action Fund and LCV about their
endorsement process this week. I wanted to send notes and next steps/asks
they have:

*NRDC Action Fund: *

·         This will be their first time endorsing in a Presidential since
2000

·         They would like to endorse early – June/July but willing to do a
public endorsement at any point (want to be a benefit to the campaign)

·         *Ask:* They would like HRC to meet with their political committee
where they would ask HRC to talk about her environmental record and take
Q&A – flexible on location (NY, DC, SF)

·         *What you get with their endorsement:* 2 fundraisers on each
coast (would like Podesta to attend) – they have a goal of bundling $1M for
the presidential

LCV:

·         They would like to push their board (from a staff level) to
endorse HRC. They do have board members that are supportive of Bernie but
are pushing that viability means a lot to LCV. They hope if they move
quickly they can get their board to endorse HRC>

·         Ask: We currently have their questionnaire and its due on Monday,
June 15th. They have a board meeting on June 24th and would like for HRC to
attend. If she can’t they are open to other dates.

·         What you get with their endorsement: big event rolling out their
endorsement, fundraising assistance and volunteers

o   IA: 16.5k members

o   NH:8,900 members

o   SC: 10,000 members

o   NV: 8,200 members

Do folks want to try and fast track these endorsements? If so, we will need
to meet with their boards.

Thanks,

Brynne
