The Sierra Club - John Muir Chapter supports the election of strong environmental leaders in state and local elections, since one of our best hopes for long term gains is building a strong legislative base to protect our environment. We have been working to stop an unprecedented wave of attacks on recycling, renewable energy, transit, water resources, mining protections, and more over the past 4 years. We will keep fighting each proposal that threatens natural resources. But we also know that the only way to really stop these attacks is to elect pro-conservation candidates, from the US President to the US Senate and Congress on the federal level, to the Wisconsin State Senate and Assembly to local County Boards and City Councils in Wisconsin. It won't be easy, we can do it with your help!
The purpose of the Political Committee is to help the Sierra Club - John Muir Chapter in our efforts to preserve the environment through nonpartisan grassroots political action. Before each election, our volunteer-powered Political Committee evaluates candidate's voting records and commitments to conservation.The Political Committee program may include federal, state, and local government races, as well as ballot measures, and shall be conducted in compliance with applicable law and in accordance with the Club's electoral compliance guidelines.
