Legislative Update

Local, state and U.S. federal political issues and legislative initiatives gain a lot of attention from Sierra Club members.  Candidate and legislative campaigns may earn Sierra Club endorsement.  Some of our members are active in politics in their own right.

A formal process assures that Sierra Club involvement with politics is with decorum and is firmly anchored to our goals.  Our Political/Legislative committee interviews candidates, leads campaigns and supports education of voters.

The Sierra Club is committed to government and politics in the sunshine.  Clean elections and political campaign funding reform are efforts we endorse to assure full voice to each voter.

Conservation Voters for Idaho: This non-profit organization was created in 2005 as a political voice for the conservation values that define our state.  They can send you a copy of their 2006 Legislative Scorecard.  For more information call Lee Flinn at 208/342-1264 or www.conservationvotersforidaho.org
