Chicago, IL -- Today, the Sierra Club announced that it’s launching their first Victory Corps campaign of the cycle in support of Marie Newman. The Sierra Club endorsed Newman late last month, their second endorsement of a challenger to a Democratic incumbent this cycle.
The Victory Corps program embeds staff on campaigns to mobilize Sierra Club members and contact voters on behalf of endorsed candidates.
In response, Sierra Club Illinois Deputy Director Kady McFadden released the following statement:
“Marie Newman is a climate champion dedicated to building a 100% clean energy economy that works for everyone. The Sierra Club was proud to endorse Newman for Congress, and we are looking forward to deploying our Victory Corps program to make her the next Representative for Illinois’ Third Congressional District.”
