Endorsing candidates for public office is one of the most important things the Sierra Club does. By telling the public which candidates will stand up for the environment, we get officeholders who will advance our agenda. With our communities and environment under attack from the Trump administration, it’s more important than ever to elect environmentalists to office at the state and local level. We are proud to announce the following endorsements in northwest Cook County. Remember to vote on or before November 3!
