Sierra Club Illinois seeks to elect environmental champions who will work to address the climate crisis and build a more equitable state by fighting for access to clean energy, air and water for all Illinoisans.
We follow a rigorous endorsement process that includes members from across the state and evaluates a candidate’s voting record, policy positions and their ability to win and be effective public servants. Sierra Club Illinois is committed to endorsing candidates that reflect the diverse communities and identities across the state and working to elevate diverse environmental champions to elected office. We're still making more endorsements, please check back later for more endorsements.
