If you’re familiar with our work, then you know we’re passionate about electing climate champions to city councils across the country. City Councilors make critical decisions regarding our utility bills and climate future. Here are our latest endorsements.

Louisiana

• Aimee McCarron for New Orleans City Council District A: New Orleans has the unique potential to be a leader on clean energy in the Gulf South, as its City Council manages the energy and ratemaking decisions for its municipal utility. McCarron is a budget expert and committed public servant who, if elected, will run to chair the city’s Climate Committee, would expand Community Solar by fighting to deploy over 20 MW of projects already in the pipeline, and enforce the Council’s Clean Fleet Law to ensure the city transitions to zero-emission vehicles.

Ohio

• Jesse Vogel for Columbus City Council District 7: A progressive tenant lawyer and organizer, Vogel is running to densify the city, provide better public transit, and strengthen the city’s renewable energy plans.

New Hampshire

• Aislinn Kalob for Concord City Council District 6: Kalob is a lifelong New Hampshire resident and former educator. In office, she will work with the council to bring electric vehicle charging stations to the city and to build solar projects on city buildings. Kalob will advocate for increased public transportation routes and smart solutions to increase ridership as well as championing infrastructure for safer streets for walking and biking, and fossil fuel divestment for the city.

Maine

• Nasreen Sheikh-Yousef for Biddeford City Council At-Large: Sheik-Yousef is a community organizer and advocate. She is a former elected Portland City Charter Commission member and has made the coastal city of Biddeford her home for the past three years. As a City Councilor, Nasreen will place checks and balances on developers to ensure that the growing city remains green and affordable for all residents and prioritize the input and participation of marginalized community members into the city’s decision making. Biddeford’s exposure to extreme weather and rising sea level requires proactive city adaptation and Sheik-Yousef will ensure that no community is left behind.
