The Chapter Political Committee identifies and supports candidates for public office who are expected to best represent the goals of the Sierra Club on environmental issues and legislation. Our goal is to endorse and support candidates who can be counted on to preserve the environment.

The Chapter endorses in key races throughout the Commonwealth. These endorsements were based on candidates’ replies to the Sierra Club questionnaire, their voting record, and their history of working with the Club on key environmental issues. Click here for a list.

Process

• We actively seek out those incumbent legislators who have promoted and supported the Sierra Club’s pro-environmental stands.
• We evaluate selected races, interviewing prospective endorsees using questionnaires and/or live interviews, as well as reviewing their record of public service.
• We work with local groups in verifying a candidate’s record and actions.

Your Help is Welcome!

We have played an increasingly active role in elections in recent years. This highly active committee welcomes volunteer participation – particularly during the busy campaign season – to assist with research, phone calls, and interviews. We are also looking for longer-term volunteer committee members who have knowledge of Massachusetts politics and wish to be part of the endorsement process.
