SIERRA CLUB ENDORSEMENTS:
The North Carolina Sierra Club has endorsed Winston-Salem City Council member Dan Besse for lieutenant governor and Sen. Janet Cowell for state treasurer. Both candidates are Democrats. A statement released by the group says it chose to endorse Besse because he has a "long-established record of action on environmental issues." Besse has served on the Environmental Management Commission and Coastal Resources Commission. In endorsing Cowell, the group cited her work in the Senate, where she helped win approval of an electronics recycling bill and sponsored a measure aimed at protecting drinking water in 2005.
