Come and explore!
Loma Prieta Endorses Candidates in June 2012 Races
The Loma Prieta Chapter's Political Committee has issued its endorsements for the June 12th primary elections. Volunteers reviewed candidates in 25 races, analyzing candidates' records, interviewing candidates, and endorsing those who support the Sierra Club's environmental priorities.
Make your vote count for the environment! To protect California's parks and our air quality, and to build a clean energy economy, we need to elect officials who will fight hard for us.
