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.
Questions? Please contact our Political Committee Chair, Bill Moll.
Endorsements for US House and US Senate candidates are paid for by Sierra Club Independent Action, www.sierraclubindependentaction.org, and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.
