Candidates endorsed by the N.C. Sierra Club in 2023 local elections
Here are the candidates endorsed by the N.C. Sierra Club for 2023 local elections, as chosen by our volunteer leaders across North Carolina. Please note that we do not make endorsements in every race in this or any election cycle, usually due to volunteer capacity.
Latest update: Nov. 13 to reflect election results.
Winning candidates' names are in bold font.
Our endorsements are non-partisan and informed by our volunteer leaders' research into the candidates' positions and, when applicable, performance in office. If you're interested in helping vet candidates in future elections, connect now with your local Group!
