Sierra Club hosts talk about environmental election stakes

Sierra Club hosts talk about environmental election stakes

WNC Sierra Club Political Co-Chair Ken Brame will discuss what is at stake for the environment in this fall’s election. He will advise voters on how to make an environmental difference at the WNC Sierra Club meeting at 7 p.m. Oct. 2. 

The group meets monthly at the UNC Asheville’s Reuter Center and on Zoom.

Brame will discuss the differences in voting patterns, political pledges and promises, and other indicators found by WNC Sierra Club’s political analysts. The state team handled state-level nominees, but a local team took on local representatives down to the town council. The WNC team, led by Brame, sent questionnaires to candidates. Candidates were interviewed. Incumbents’ and candidates’ (where applicable) voting records on key environmental issues were confirmed. Then, the team made their recommendations.
