Mark Udall—Colorado

When it comes to politics, Mark Udall comes by it honest. He practices his politics that way, too. And like his father Mo and his uncle Stewart before him, Mark is deeply tied to the land that he loves. As a Congressman, he's done a lot to reclaim the ravaged mines and restore the endangered rivers of Colorado. He wants to carry that pro-environmental approach upstream to the Senate with him in 2008. And the earth undoubtedly approves.
