Tips for finding climate candidates

Voting on November 3 has one crucial goal: to flip the majority in Congress in order to restrain the Trump administration. Damage that the Trump-controlled Congress did to the environment in 2025 is summarized by the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) in its 2025 Environmental Scorecard.

The LCV tracks the current Congress, listing roll call votes on important issues and rating the 2025 records of individual members. This is a good guide to the records of incumbents, while the LCV Action Fund lists its congressional endorsements here.

With a little digging it’s also possible to find environmental endorsements at the state and local level.

Sierra Club volunteer political committees interview, evaluate and endorse candidates in every chapter. These results are published by individual Chapters rather than on the national website, so first find your local Chapter here. You may have to hunt around on the chapter website because chapters organize their websites differently to ensure compliance with nonprofit guidelines about posting endorsements.

Endorsements for state-level and some local elections are also made by the Jane Fonda Climate PAC (endorsees are listed by state) and the nonprofit Climate Cabinet. On the Climate Cabinet site use the “Filter Candidates” tab to find endorsees.

Balletopedia posts endorsements which can be searched by endorsers in your state, both individuals and organizations. California Environmental Voters keeps a scorecard for California legislative and executive actions and officials and makes pro-environment endorsements.
