The Sierra Club leverages the power of our networks of volunteers and members in every state to help elect environmental candidates. The Sierra Club sees the importance of having environmental champions at all levels of elected office. Many of our local chapters across the country also endorse state and municipal candidates. To ensure the Sierra Club only endorses the best environmental candidates, our volunteers and staff have developed a multi-step process and criteria for selecting which candidates receive our support. Each of our Congressional endorsements are voted on by two committees made up mostly of volunteers and a couple of staff. Driven by our grassroots members, the endorsement process begins at the chapter level. Volunteers examine each candidate's record and distribute questionnaires to all candidates to fill out. The questionnaire responses are then evaluated, and interviews with candidates are conducted. State volunteers then hold a first vote on endorsement. The Sierra Club National Political Team, made up of volunteers and staff from around the country, then holds a second vote to confirm the endorsement. Throughout our process, volunteers and staff evaluate the environmental and public health records of candidates, their electability and their propensity to be a true champion on our issues.
