Political Action Committee

The Sierra Club bolsters our lobbying efforts through our political program.  We can only do so much by lobbying and mounting conservation oriented campaigns.  Our success in preserving our environment will be limited unless we elect people to public office who share our views. 

During active election cycles we: 

1)      Select candidates for endorsement

2)      Actively work in targeted races to elect our endorsed candidates through public outreach of our own and through working with the candidates’ election organization 

During off years we:

1)      Raise money for our Political Action Committee

2)      Develop scorecards for our county officials

3)      Lobby our elected officials at both the county and state levels on environmental legislation.
