Sierra Club sets up
Delaware Environmental Political Action Committee
Wilmington, Delaware – The Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club
announced today that it has registered the Delaware Environmental PAC
with the state Board of Elections and is looking forward to ensuring
that environmental issues – from clean air and energy to land use,
global warming and clean water – are part of the discussion as the
coming election cycle heats up in Delaware.
"Sierra Club members are interested in electing candidates to state
and local offices who seek to understand and address Delaware's
environmental concerns," said Jay Cooperson, Delaware chapter chair.
"We want to make sure the candidates running for office next fall are
aware of the issues and will work to protect the health of our natural
and human communities once they are elected to office."
The chapter's plans include compiling a candidate's scorecard, hosting
a candidate forum as well as considering endorsements in state level
races and actively working to elect pro-environment candidates. The
chapter's political committee has started work on these projects and
welcomes all Sierra Club members, including new ones, to join the
effort.
Contributions to the Delaware Environmental Political Action Committee
are welcome. Checks can be made out to "Delaware Environmental PAC"
and sent to Delaware Environmental PAC, c/o Sierra Club Delaware
Chapter, 100 West 10th Street, Suite 1107, Wilmington, DE 19801.
Contributions or gifts to Delaware Environmental PAC are not tax-deductible.
