There’s a strong risk that the California primary, which uses a top-two system for statewide offices, will deliver a November ballot with two Republican candidates on the ballot.Â
But even democratic candidates are not all the same when it comes to climate. We must elect a pro-climate Governor!
Top-polling Democratic candidates who DO NOT take fossil fuel money:
Porter and Steyer have both shown real knowledge and commitment on climate.
Â
Democratic candidates who DO take fossil fuel money:
Both have taken top dollar corporate donations from Chevron; this has special significance across California, and especially in the Bay Area and the East Bay.Â
We are not yet making an endorsement. But we strongly encourage voters to choose a top fossil fuel free candidate.Â
