Michigan Sierra Club Launches
Online Political Advertising Campaign
Nation’s Largest
Grassroots Conservation Organization to target Gubernatorial and State
Legislative races
LANSING, MI - Today, the Michigan Chapter
of the Sierra Club launched an online political advertising campaign in support
of Mark Schauer and ten candidates for the Michigan Legislature. The campaign includes a video featuring Sierra
Club Michigan Chapter Director Anne Woiwode and Schauer, who is endorsed by the
Sierra Club.
The ads also target ten state legislative districts
supporting David Haener (House District 23), Sandy
Colvin (House District 39), Annie Brown (House District 66), Theresa Abed (House
District 71), Winnie Brinks (House District 76), Annie Braidwood (House
District 85), Collene Lamonte (House District 91), Bryan Mielke (House District
99), Tom Stobie (House District 101) and Dian Slavens (Senate District 7).
“We are using online capabilities to reach Sierra Club and
other environmental supporters with a message letting them know which
candidates support protecting our Great Lakes system and which do not,” said Mike Berkowitz, Political Director of the
Sierra Club Michigan Chapter. “By linking ads to our legislative scorecard,
voter guide, and endorsed candidate websites, voters will be able to access
information letting them know where candidates stand on issues important to
Michigan’s future.”
