The Sierra Club is proud to endorse three proven environmental leaders: Ward 3 Councilmember Matt Frumin, Ward 5 Councilmember Zachary Parker, and Attorney General Brian Schwalb.

Over the last four years, they’ve worked to cut pollution across DC, advancing clean energy, protecting our waterways, reducing plastic and lead pollution, and standing up to polluters.

• Matt Frumin has championed clean energy and efforts to get fossil fuels out of buildings while expanding efficient geothermal heating and cooling.

• Zachary Parker has led on environmental justice, introducing legislation to reduce pollution in overburdened communities and establish a climate resilience hub in Ward 5.

• Brian Schwalb secured the largest environmental settlement in DC history, forcing Pepco to pay $57 million for illegal toxic discharges that contaminated the Anacostia River.
