WASHINGTON - The League of Conservation Voters (LCV), the political voice of the national environmental and conservation community, today announced its endorsement of former state Senator Joe Schwarz in the Republican primary contest for MichiganÆs 7th Congressional district.

"As a state legislator, Joe Schwarz has fought for sound environmental policies on behalf of Michigan families in the 7th district," said Betsy Loyless, LCV Vice President for Policy. "In particular, SchwarzÆs record as a strong supporter of protecting the Great Lakes, reducing air pollutants such as mercury, and ensuring the safety of water supplies in

Michigan communities will make him an important voice for quality of life issues and conservation in the U.S. House of Representatives."

As a member of the Michigan State Senate Appropriations Committee, Schwarz has consistently advocated for funds to restore and clean up the Great Lakes. In particular, Schwarz is concerned about the accumulation of mercury in Michigan bodies of water, which can contaminate various types of fish, including tuna. If elected, Schwarz would encourage adoption of tougher emissions standards for mercury than are currently proposed.

Schwarz has also supported sound energy policy through incentives for clean, alternative sources, such as hybrid and fuel cell technology.

Schwarz had previously attempted a bid for the Republican nomination for a seat in the U.S. House in 1992. He finished second to fellow state senator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Smith(U.S.politician)" title="Nick Smith (U.S. politician)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Nick Smith</a> in the primary for the 7th District. Although Schwarz is from Battle Creek, the largest city in the district, two other candidates from the western portion of the district split the vote. This allowed Smith, the major candidate from the eastern portion, to win with only 37 percent of the vote.

In 2004, Schwarz ran for the 7th District again. Smith opted not to run for reelection, honoring a promise to serve only six terms in the House. Schwarz defeated Smith's son Brad Smith, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Walberg" title="Tim Walberg" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Tim Walberg</a>, and three others in a six-way Republican primary race. In the general election, Schwarz received 58% of the vote, while Democrat <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sharon_Renier&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Sharon Renier (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background: none;">Sharon Renier</a> received 36%. The remaining 6% was divided between the Green, Libertarian and U.S. Taxpayers Party candidates.

Schwarz is a member of the Republican Leadership Council and The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Main_Street_Partnership" title="Republican Main Street Partnership" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Republican Main Street Partnership</a>. He is also a member of The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Majority_For_Choice" title="Republican Majority For Choice" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Republican Majority For Choice</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republicans_for_Choice" title="Republicans for Choice" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Republicans for Choice</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republicans_for_Environmental_Protection" title="Republicans for Environmental Protection" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Republicans for Environmental Protection</a>.

Schwarz is considered to be a moderate Republican who supports abortion rights and favors embryonic<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_research" title="Stem cell research" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">stem cell research</a>.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Schwarz#cite_note-3" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[3]</a> He has favored extending tax cuts, manufacturing liability reform and overhauling America's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_malpractice" title="Medical malpractice" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">medical malpractice</a> laws, which he says lead to frivolous lawsuits and force doctors to demur from treating patients. Schwarz was one of many GOP Congressmen to return to Washington, DC to vote to maintain Terri Schiavo's life support (Bill S 686) and also voted in favor of Bill HR 6099 which was designed to ensure that women seeking an abortion are informed regarding the pain allegedly experienced by their unborn fetus.

In 2007, Schwarz was appointed to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain" title="John McCain" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">John McCain</a>'s presidential finance committee for the state of Michigan. He had been co-chairman of McCain's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_presidential_campaign" title="2000 presidential campaign" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">2000 presidential campaign</a>; the two have been friends for many years.

Schwarz had been rumored to be considering a run for his old congressional seat against Walberg in 2008, either as an independent or a Democrat. Ultimately, he endorsed Walberg's successful Democratic challenger, State Senate Minority Leader <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Schauer" title="Mark Schauer" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Mark Schauer</a>.

As of 2012, Schwarz is a member of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_State_Medical_Society" title="Michigan State Medical Society" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Michigan State Medical Society</a>'s Board of Directors from District 3.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Schwarz#cite_note-5" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[5]</a>
