Sierra Club Endorses Dan Kessler
I'm honored to receive the endorsement of the Sierra Club.
Minnesotans know that protecting our environment and growing our economy go hand in hand. From safeguarding the BWCA to investing in clean energy and protecting our air and water, we have a responsibility to leave our state better than we found it.
I'm grateful for the Sierra Club's support and look forward to continuing the work of building a healthier, more sustainable Minnesota for future generations.
Our physical and emotional health is closely tied to the environment around us. Clean air to breathe, safe water to drink, and access to natural spaces aren't luxuries, they are essential foundations for healthy families and strong communities. The 50,000 members and supporters of the Sierra Club North Star Chapter are tireless leaders in the fight to protect our environment and address the climate crisis. Earning their endorsement is a immense honor. I will be a dedicated partner in transitioning to clean energy, protecting our local waters, holding polluters accountable, and preserving Minnesota's natural legacy for our children.
