Join the Santa Lucia Chapter Political Committee!
We work in conjunction with Sierra Club California and adjacent Sierra Club Chapters to screen and endorse pro-environment candidates for US Congress, State Senate, State Assembly, county and municipal offices, and local elected governing boards. For legislative and congressional endorsement actions with new multi-county district boundaries, we collaborate with our counterparts in Ventana (Monterey and Santa Cruz counties) and Santa Barbara-Ventura Chapters. Endorsed candidates may publicize our support on their webpages and in their campaign literature. Candidates are evaluated through a process involving written local issue questionnaires and interviews usually conducted via Zoom. Criteria for endorsement include campaign credibility (strategy, name recognition, campaign funding, and other assets needed for victory) and candidate record and positions on a diverse platform of environmental, equity, and good-government issues. We always need more interview panelists to bring their local issues expertise from our various cities and communities! Interview panelists initiate recommendations for endorsements, which are considered by the Political Committee, Executive Committee, and state or national Sierra Club volunteer leaders. Without your participation, we aren't able to add your community to our endorsement list! For more information and to get involved contact the Political Committee Chair Alex Mintzer.
