The Executive Committee of the Coastal Bend Group of the Sierra Club is pleased to announce candidate endorsements for the 2020 General Election for the Corpus Christi City Council. At every level, this is a very important General Election and, at the local level, the Corpus Christi City Council has a huge impact on environmental issues that affect all of us living in the Coastal Bend. Actually, the decisions made locally have an environmental impact far and wide.

Our decision to endorse specific candidates is based on three primary factors – (1) the history of a candidate with respect to working for the environment in accord with Sierra Club values and goals, (2) the responses to a questionnaire that we sent to all of the candidates, (3) the stated policies on the candidate’s web site or social media site. It was clear to us which candidates will best promote Sierra Club policies. For some districts, we decided to make no endorsement.

The Corpus Christi City Council candidates that we are endorsing, and also the endorsements by the Lone Star (Texas) Chapter of the Sierra Club for Statewide, Texas House and Texas Senate, are located here.
