Duluth – Today the Sierra Club North Star Chapter formally announced its endorsements in the Duluth City Council Races for 2019.
Endorsements were awarded to Mike Mayou for City Councilor at Large, Gary Anderson for City Councilor in the First District and Roz Randorf for City Councilor in the Third District.
Wesley Sisson, Member of the Sierra Club Duluth Political Committee, had this to say about the candidates:
“Mike Mayou, Gary Anderson, and Roz Randorf impressed us with their understanding of the urgency around protecting our water, lands, air and climate. They understand that Duluth residents thrive when we have a healthy environment. Mayou, Anderson, and Randorf all offer passion for values that Sierra Club members share. Sierra Club is excited to back these campaigns in the general election on Tuesday, November 5th and we’re excited about what we’ll be able to achieve for the people of Duluth by working with these candidates as City Councilors.”
Endorsement decisions were made after a process of questionnaires, interviews, research and deliberation. Issues of concern included clean air and water, transportation, environmental justice, pesticides, the Husky Refinery, plastic pollution, sulfide mining and renewable energy.
All three candidates expressed a strong commitment and support for these important issues.
