2024 Orange County, CA Climate Voter Guide San Clemente Survey

OC Climate Voter Guide volunteers are creating a 2024 Climate Voter Guide for every OC city that will help voters evaluate candidate positions and voting records on climate-related issues. More than two-thirds of climate emissions come from cities, and voters across the political spectrum want climate action from their local elected officials, but voters don’t know candidates’ opinions and voting record on city climate policy. 

The OC Climate Voter Guide will be promoted on the websites and social media channels of local organizations that care about climate and shared with local news media.

Please answer the following questions to be included in the voter guide. Candidates who do not complete the questionnaire will be noted as “no response” in the guide. 

Please contact us at OCClimateVoterGuide@gmail.com if you have any questions.
