Susan Jordan

Leaving no doubt of Susan Jordan’s impeccable environmental credentials, the Los Padres Chapter of the Sierra Club put its faith in Jordan’s leadership abilities and has endorsed her Assembly candidacy. The Sierra Club joins the California League of Conservation Voters, as well as some of the most well-known environmental leaders in the state in backing Jordan.

“Susan Jordan is a highly accomplished environmental leader who as Executive Director of the California Coastal Protection Network (CCPN) and co-founder of the group Vote the Coast, has played a central role in many major environmental victories. She has worked closely with the Sierra Club on many issues, and in the Assembly Susan would use her extensive experience working issues at the legislative level to further her environmental goals,” said David Gold, Los Padres Sierra Club Political Co-Chair.

Paul Mason, Former Deputy Director, Sierra Club California, also had no reservations in his praise. “I don’t know anyone with more integrity than Susan Jordan. Susan is exactly the combination of smarts, real-world experience, and values that we need, and embodies the best case in a citizen-legislator.”

“When elected, Susan Jordan will bring to Sacramento a proven record of having confronted, worked on, organized around and won victories involving some of the most important environmental challenges facing California,” said Mark Massara, Former Director of the Sierra Club Coastal Program.

“Susan has worked to protect our coast from dangerous gas terminals, offshore oil derricks, destructive development and fought to protect precious natural resources for our families and future generations,” Massara added. “No other Assembly candidate, from Santa Barbara or anywhere in California, brings a level of experience and environmental accomplishments close to Jordan’s. With unprecedented environmental challenges looming ahead, from sea rise to extreme climate change, we can depend on Jordan to get it right and get the job done.”

Jordan, a candidate for the 35th Assembly District in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, has won many awards for her environmental work.

“The Sierra Club’s leadership on environmental issues is unsurpassed,” Jordan, a first-time candidate, said. “Having the respect and backing of my peers in the environmental community is important to me. We’ve worked together on some of the toughest grassroots environmental battles in the state.”

Jordan has also been endorsed by Terry Tamminen, Former Secretary of California EPA; Winston Hickox, Former Secretary of California EPA; Luke Breit, Former California Democratic Party Environmental Caucus Chair; Debra Broner, California Democratic Party Environmental Caucus Treasurer; Mary D. Nichols, Chair, California Air Resources Board; Mark Gold, Heal the Bay; Steve Blank, Chair, Audubon California; Joel Reynolds, Senior Attorney, Natural Resources Defense Council; Tom Ford, Santa Monica Baykeeper; Dan Silver, Executive Director, Endangered Habitats League; Laura Davick, Founder, Crystal Cove Alliance; Rory Cox, Pacific Environment; and Jack Eidt, Director, Wild Heritage Planners.
