This moment requires bold action on climate from our elected leaders, not continued delay or incremental steps.
The 2026 election will bring sweeping change to the DC Council and the Mayor’s office -- it is the most consequential shake-up of DC leadership in over a decade. Who is elected will determine how boldly and swiftly the District will retake the mantle of climate leadership, or whether the District’s leadership will continue to erode.
The Sierra Club DC PAC will invest in high-impact local races to stack our local politics with environmental champions and remove leaders who impede our District’s climate goals.
We must go all in to elect climate champions and remove those leaders holding us back. Make an impact with us.

For too long, elected leaders in the District of Columbia have faced few political consequences for inaction and a lack of boldness on climate and environmental issues. Give today, and together let’s play powerful role in shaping the next political era.
Let’s change some things.
The District's leadership is in flux.
More than any other recent election, the 2026 Democratic primary and general election will shape the next era of Mayoral and Council politics and either create a massive opportunity to advance, fund, and implement climate and environmental solutions or severely restrict the progress the District has made in the past decade.
What we will do. Why it matters.

We know that DC voters care that their local officials are right on climate and the environment; however, many feel uninformed about the specifics of local policy and politics and are looking for analysis, a trusted guide and validator, and facts to inform their vote.
The Sierra Club DC PAC will meet this need through strategic direct mail campaigns and digital strategies to ensure key voters receive clear information and arguments about who has the green community’s stamp of approval and who stands in the way of progress.
