How the Sierra Club's Endorsement Process Works
To ensure the Sierra Club only endorses the best environmental candidates, we have developed a multi-step volunteer-driven process and criteria for selecting which candidates receive our support. Each of our endorsements are voted on by two committees made up of volunteers. Volunteers examine candidates' records and distribute questionnaires to candidates who meet our criteria. The questionnaire responses are then evaluated, and when applicable, interviews with candidates are conducted. 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.
Please note that if there is no endorsement listed for a specific race, it is not necessarily a reflection of a candidate or incumbent. Typically when there is no endorsement listed, it's for one of the following reasons:
- The candidate is running unopposed
- Volunteers did not have capacity to get involved in this race
- There are several strong environmental candidates in the race
- There are no environmental candidates in the race
- Candidates did not apply for endorsements
- Endorsements have not been announced yet
