SIERRA CLUB ENDORSES JORDAN FOR MAYOR OF FAYETTEVILLE
Lioneld Jordan and Dan Coody are in a run-off election for mayor of Fayetteville. Elections will be held on November 25th.
The Sierra Club's Ozark Headwaters Group announced the club's endorsements for Fayetteville races in the November 2008 elections. The endorsements are based on (1) candidates' public records; (2) their responses to a series of detailed questions about environmental issues (see link below for questionaire); (3) their presentations at the candidates' forum held at the U of A School of Law on Sept. 25; and (4) our assessment of the candidates' likely effectiveness as public servants with attention to environmental values.
The endorsement for mayor is:
Mayor of Fayetteville: Lioneld Jordan
"It's a testament to the citizens of Fayetteville and their commitment to the environment that we have a choice among strong environmental candidates in every race this year," said Molly Rawn, the group's chair. "While Dan Coody, for example, has often done a good job over the years, Lioneld Jordan's outstanding track record as alderman, his excellent values and his staunch trustworthiness make him our clear choice for mayor."
The Sierra Club is the only environmental advocacy organization in Arkansas that makes political endorsements. The club, now more than a century old, has over 1.3 million members and supporters nationwide, of whom more than 300 members are Fayetteville voters.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature's sources never fail. John Muir
