The Missouri Chapter endorses candidates for political office in order to help Missouri Chapter members and other persons interested in protecting the  environment to learn of the environmental record and policies of candidates in Missouri. The Missouri Chapter political pages and endorsements are separately funded from other Sierra Club informational pages. The Missouri Chapter fully complies with all policies and regulations enforced by various governmental agencies.

For more information on Sierra Club political activities in Missouri, contact Rick Haeseler, Missouri Chapter political chair,  rhinoric@hotmail.com.

Notice on endorsements of national candidates.
A listing on the Sierra Club endorsement page is an in-kind Political Action Committee contribution from the Sierra Club to the endorsed candidate. Because not all candidates accept PAC contributions, not all endorsed candidates are listed on this page. For a full list of endorsed candidates, please e-mail us at political.desk@sierraclub.org.
