Here are the Sierra Club's recommendations for candidates and ballot measures that deserve your support in the November 2015 election. Our volunteers have pored over ballot measure language, interviewed the candidates, asked tough questions, and researched the records.
Election years without presidential candidates on the ballot see a major drop-off in turnout. That means each vote counts even more. Please take the time to review our endorsements and vote! It really makes a difference for the environment.
Check back in as we get closer to election day as some endorsements are still going through the approval process.
