This week marks the beginning of early voting throughout Florida and the environment needs your vote!  More than ever we need to elect pro-environment candidates up and down the ballot to protect our communities, state, country, and frankly, the world.

Sierra Club Florida volunteers have spent dozens of hours analyzing the environmental positions of candidates for local, state, and federal offices.  Over 150 candidates have received the Sierra Club’s endorsement in the 2020 general election. 

Please support our endorsed candidates when you vote. Thanks to a new tool provided by the National Sierra Club, it is now easy to learn who they are. First, visit this page on our website.

Here you will find a list of endorsed candidates running for federal and state office. If you are interested in Sierra Club‘s position on statewide ballot initiatives, those can be found here too.

But if you tab down to the bottom of the page, you will see this!

You can enter your address and it will provide information on endorsed candidates up and down the ballot.  You can print it off and use it to complete your ballot.

If there is no endorsed candidate for a race, then likely there has not been a Sierra Club endorsement. However, in a few instances, there may be a time delay in between our endorsement and posting, so if you have time to wait, check back in a few days!

Want to volunteer to help elect our endorsed candidates?  These last weeks are critically important. Email our Chapter Political Chair, Dave Harbeitner at davidh@suncoastsierra.org.

Don’t forget to vote on or before November 3rd! Thanks for all you do for the environment,
