Tennessee Chapter Endorsements 2020

Sierra Club Tennessee Chapter 2020 Endorsements

 How the endorsement process works 

To ensure the Sierra Club only endorses the best environmental candidates, our volunteers and staff have developed a multi-step process and criteria for selecting which candidates receive our support. Each of our Congressional endorsements is voted on by two committees made up of volunteers. Typically, our Political Committee volunteers examine each candidate's record and distribute questionnaires to all candidates pertaining to both social justice and the environmental issues. The questionnaire responses are then evaluated, and interviews with candidates are conducted. Our Group ExCom then holds a second vote to confirm the endorsement. 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.
