Sonoma County’s PAC uses grassroots campaigning to galvanize the public to vote for environmentally-savvy candidates and provides information about important ballot initiatives.

In 2018, we were 75% effective with our endorsements throughout Sonoma County. In the fight for preserving our beloved natural environment, campaigning for and electing strong environmental candidates is absolutely necessary. It’s also vital to keep and maintain environmental majorities on the Boards and Councils in Sonoma County, so that we can affect development, sustainability, environmental protection, and policies to be reflective of concerns of the environmental movement. This is the Political Action Committee’s primary function – working tirelessly to promote political candidates that conserve and maintain Sonoma County’s natural health and beauty. In addition, we create a yearly Report Card as a tool to keep our local officials accountable. Each Card evaluates our officials’ performance and grades them based on their voting records for environmental initiatives for the year and how well they listen to their constituents.

How can you help the Political Action Committee? We are always looking for passionate volunteers to help us campaign, canvas, educate, and more. If you’re invested in Sonoma County’s environment and want to do your part to maintain it through powerful action, this is the perfect opportunity. Additionally, contributions are always highly valued, and we’re incredibly grateful to receive them. Donate online or by mail. Because Political Action Committee is political in nature, these contributions are not tax-deductible.

Join us in making a difference at one of the most fundamental levels – local government! For more information, please contact us at any time.

Election Results – November 2014

Final election results determined that:
SCCA endorsed candidate David Glass won Mayor of Petaluma by 84 votes! Bridgette Mansell won Healdsburg City Council by 40 votes! With these two wins added to our list, SCCA PAC was 71 percent effective on its endorsements in November. Gosh the 29 percent always hurts though… but we’ve made some progress.

With your support we:

• Gained a seat in Santa Rosa (Chris Coursey)
• Held ground in Petaluma and defeated Q (and arguably gained with Harris not seeking reelection and Dave King taking his spot on council)
• Held a 5/5 environmental majority in Sebastopol
• Swept endorsements in Cotati as well
• Had a sweep of the SRJC School Board endorsements gaining three seats.
• To work with our nonprofit, issues-oriented arm, please visit this page for more information about Sonoma County Conservation Action.
