Chapter Makes Endorsement in D.C. Council At-Large Race
With the special election for D.C. Council At-Large coming up on April 23, you should know that the D.C. Sierra Club endorses Republican Patrick Mara.
Why do we think he's the right choice?
- Focused on the environment: Mara is the only At-Large candidate with an educational background in environmental issues. He earned a B.S. in Environmental Science and Political Science from Marist College. He's demonstrated a lifelong commitment to environmental progress.
- Builds partnerships: Mara has been a consultant to businesses focused on wind energy and recyclable building materials. And he's worked on public and private-sector projects involving clean, renewable energy and recycling.
- Puts his money where his mouth is: Mara does not own a car. As a Council member, Mara will primarily rely on Metro and the 64 bus to commute to and from the Wilson Building.
