The Arkansas chapter of the Sierra Club has announced its endorsement of Democrat Clarke Tucker for the 2nd District congressional seat held by Republican French Hill.
Said a news release from Glen Hooks, head of the chapter:
Given the current administration’s continued threats to our clean air and water and public lands, it is more important than ever to elect environmental champions like Clarke Tucker. During his time in the Arkansas legislature, Tucker worked to promote clean energy via efforts like community net metering. He was also instrumental in thwarting an attempt to further endanger the iconic Buffalo River.
“We are deeply grateful to Clarke Tucker for his work to support clean energy, to protect the Buffalo River, and for his stance in favor of the Paris Climate agreement,” said Hooks. “Clarke Tucker is a true environmental champion who will fight to protect Arkansas’s clean air, clean water, our climate and our special places.
