INDIANAPOLIS—Today Indiana Attorney General Candidate Destiny Wells announced the endorsement of the Hoosier Chapter of the Sierra Club. The Sierra Club is the oldest, largest, and most influential grassroots environmental organizations in the United States with more than three million members and supporters. It was founded in 1892 by the conservationist John Muir. The Sierra Club has hundreds of thousands of members in chapters located throughout the United States.
"I’m thrilled to receive the endorsement of the Hoosier Chapter of the Sierra Club,” stated Destiny Wells. “Hoosiers advocating for a cleaner environment need every friend they can get in the Indiana Statehouse—under my leadership I will ensure the Indiana environment will have a voice in the Indiana Office of the Attorney General.”
“We are inspired to support Destiny Wells’ dedication to environmental outcomes across the State of Indiana, from the Falls of the Ohio, to the Hoosier National Forest, to Indiana Dunes State and National Parks,” stated Neil Goswami, Sierra Club Hoosier Chapter Political Chair and Executive Committee Member. “Our forests, wetlands, waterways, hills, valleys, knobs, and lowlands depend on engaged decision-makers at the Indiana Statehouse, ensuring sustainable energy solutions and equitable outcomes for all Hoosiers. We believe Destiny Wells, as Attorney General, will be a crucial advocate in these efforts.”
The Hoosier Chapter has more than 8,000 members. Local Sierra Club groups are active in different parts of the state, working on conservation-related issues, sponsoring outdoor activities, and educating members on issues. Indianapolis (Heartlands), southwest Indiana, Greater Columbus (Winding Waters), and Bloomington (Uplands) have active Sierra Club groups and networks.
