The Sierra Club leverages the power of our volunteers and members to help elect environmental candidates. To ensure selection of the best candidates, our volunteers and staff have developed criteria and a multi-step endorsement process. Volunteers examine each candidate's environmental record and distribute questionnaires to candidates. Our selection committee evaluates responses and interviews candidates. Any proposed endorsement must win super-majority support of multiple local committees, and then committees at the state or national level to become final.   Throughout our process, volunteers and staff evaluate the environmental and public health records of candidates, their electability and their propensity to be a true environmental champion. 

Paid for by Sierra Club Political Committee, www.SierraClub.org, and not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.
