folk, I& #39;m working up a #VoteClimate ballot voter guide and actively seeking YOUR input. Are you a climate hawk running for a local office? Know a Green New Dealer running for state legislature? Tell me about them! https://bit.ly/32Ytcza ">https://bit.ly/32Ytcza&q...
and this is one of the things bringing me hope this electoral season. I& #39;m finding climate hawks in AZ, IA, SC. I& #39;m getting names from state groups who can flip the NC legislature. There& #39;s an awesome Florida Climate initiative. Colorado has purple mountains and a deep blue bench.
The climate vote matters and candidates running for local office reflect it. And when we win, we build a bench of candidates who will prioritize climate action throughout their careers.
Most of my nonpolitical "lite green" friends know how they& #39;re voting for President. They need info about state Assembly, county supervisor, city council. Help ID climate hawks and progressives, and get that info into the hands of voters. https://bit.ly/32Ytcza ">https://bit.ly/32Ytcza&q...
and I& #39;m now about to tackle two big states: Pennsylvania and Texas. Beginning with a race you NEED to know about: the Texas Railroad Commission. What does that have to do with climate? Ah, funny question.
In a few states you elect the people who regulate utilities. And they all have weird names.
The Arizona Corporation Commission. The Texas Railroad Commission. C& #39;mon! This is a feature, not a bug, to confuse voters.

Voters just snooze through "Corporation Commission." Would you pay more attention to voting if they were called the Arizona Bosses Who Keep Rationing Arizona& #39;s Precious Solar? (Hint: vote Arizona Team Solar https://bit.ly/3cFUmxY ">https://bit.ly/3cFUmxY&q...
and who would know, without thinking, that the Texas Railroad Commission regulates oil flowing through pipelines? Hint: read @KateAronoff piece https://bit.ly/348GZTc ">https://bit.ly/348GZTc&q... and vote for https://twitter.com/ChrystaForTexas ">https://twitter.com/ChrystaFo... who is proposing some fairly mild regulation.
anyway -- I& #39;m working up a #VoteClimate ballot voter guide to tell voters about those obscure sounding races. And state legislators. And county/ city races. And so much more. Got a candidate? Tell us about them! https://bit.ly/32Ytcza ">https://bit.ly/32Ytcza&q...
