Sierra Club Endorses Congressman Chris Pappas for U.S. Senate

MANCHESTER, N.H. — The Sierra Club today endorsed Congressman Chris Pappas for U.S. Senate, highlighting his record of prioritizing New Hampshire’s environment and his commitment to building a clean, sustainable, and healthy future for generations of Granite Staters to come.

In one of the most competitive races in the country, this endorsement is yet another clear sign of the momentum behind Pappas’s campaign. From grassroots advocacy organizations to elected officials to a broad coalition of Granite Staters, Pappas is the only candidate building the kind of campaign that can take on John Sununu, Donald Trump, and their corporate special interest backers on November 3rd.

“I’m proud to have earned the endorsement of the Sierra Club, America’s largest grassroots environmental organization and a leading voice in the fight to protect our planet,” said Congressman Chris Pappas. “New Hampshire’s natural beauty is central to our way of life and our economy, drawing visitors from around the world and providing clean air, clean water, and outdoor spaces that Granite Staters cherish. We have a responsibility to protect these resources for generations to come, and I’ll continue fighting for clean, sustainable energy, protecting our wildlife, and ensuring every Granite Stater can enjoy a healthy environment.”

“Once again, Chris Pappas is the environmental leader for New Hampshire to fight for a healthier, cleaner, and a more resilient future for everyone to thrive,” said Catherine Corkery, NH Sierra Club Chapter Director. “Protecting our human needs, like clean water and air, public lands and the wildlife around us, while implementing solid economic programs that increase local jobs to expand clean energy, like wind and solar paired with battery storage, will tap the best of creative solutions that protect and strengthen our public health, environment and economy together.”

“Rep. Pappas has proven himself to be an early and outfront congressional leader on PFAS forever chemicals contamination,” said Anne Fenn, NH Sierra Club Political Action chair. “He authored the Clean Water standards for the PFAS Act to limit industrial PFAS discharges and hold polluters accountable.”
