Criteria for Receiving Endorsement
The ECC does not have established criteria to evaluate a candidate for endorsement. The following guidelines may be taken into consideration.
-
- Has the candidate reviewed the Party Platform and ECC resolutions and do endorsement answers reflect Party and ECC priorities?
- Does a candidate’s public statement on website for environment and climate issues match with what they are saying on the endorsement questionnaire? Consideration may be given that many issues have an environment/climate change nexus.
- What is the candidate’s employment, advocacy, and legislative record relative to their political experience? Review candidate’s record of bill sponsorship and co-sponsorship.
