Denis Hayes, who coordinated the first Earth Day in 1970, has endorsed Darcy Burner for Congress, her campaign announced Tuesday.

Hayes continues to serve as chairman of the Earth Day Network, which promotes Earth Day observances worldwide. He is president of the Bullitt Foundation philanthropy in Seattle.

Burner is running against Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert in a rematch of their 2006 contest, which Reichert won with 51.5 percent of the vote. His 8th District encompasses much of eastern King County and extends into Pierce County.
