"The Sierra Club endorsement means the world to me because the Sierra Club represents the world we need now and for future generations, with good governance and a healthy sustainable environment. I was a founding Board Member of the Climate Institute established in Washington, D.C. in the 1980's, and my entire career since then has contributed to reshaping our public policy and programs to serve humanity's overarching priorities of clean air and water. Whether it's reshaping our drug policy in Colombia to an environmental focus for Colombian farmers, serving as the plastics co-chair for Broward LWV to reduce pollution, lobbying against the M-Cores turnpike corridors, and state preemptions that take away local environmental efforts or working for common sense gun safety laws, I have worked with partners to confront the special interests that harm our communities. With partners like Sierra, I will continue to tackle the challenges that we must face together to build a better future for all of us and generations to come."

STATEWIDE ENDORSEMENTS
for Florida Governor
"Our Everglades, beaches, water, and our way of life are all on the line this November. We can’t continue sitting on the sidelines when it comes to tackling existential environmental challenges.

for Florida Chief Financial Officer
With Florida’s homeowners insurance market on the brink of collapse, Floridians need a CFO who prioritizes residents over party politics and big donors every step of the way. Hattersley, a former State House Rep and Bronze Star recipient, has a track record of putting others before self-interest and an understanding of the changing environment’s role on Floridians’ financial stability. The stakes could not be higher and time is of the essence. Floridians cannot afford to squander another four years to ineffectual leadership.
"I am excited and honored to have the endorsement of the Sierra Club of Florida. As CFO, having a keen awareness and understanding of the impact of climate, storm, and natural disasters upon the risk, real estate and insurance industries is critical to improving the quality of life and financial stability of all Floridians."
