Support our local leaders- 2026
Jason Bellamy-Fults, Florida Senate District 6
The Sierra Club proudly endorses Jason Bellamy-Fults, a union electrician who has spent 15+ years helping North Central Florida families cut energy bills and helped lead the fight to return Gainesville’s utility to local voters. In the Senate, he’ll protect rooftop solar, hold monopoly utilities accountable, and defend local control. 
Merrillee Malwitz-Jipson, Florida House District 10
The Sierra Club proudly endorses Merrillee Malwitz-Jipson, who has defended the Santa Fe River and our springs for nearly 20 years, helping stop four water bottling operations and organizing against the Sabal Trail pipeline. A river-based small business owner in Fort White, she knows clean water is our economy, heritage, and future. 
Amy Trask, Florida House District 22
The Sierra Club proudly endorses Amy Trask, who wrote the HAVEN Act for domestic violence survivors, which passed unanimously with bipartisan support. She’ll bring that same skill to protecting our conservation lands, springs, and local decision-making for every family in Alachua, Gilchrist, and Levy counties. 
The Sierra Club proudly endorses Ken Cornell, who was born and raised in Alachua County, has served on the commission since 2014, and has been a steady vote for our lakes, springs, and conservation lands. He backs growth inside the urban cluster, stood with Bradford and Union neighbors against a phosphate mine, and has earned our support for a fourth term.
