Endorsements began early in the spring and followed a two committee process. 
  The Minneapolis Political Committee, comprised of member volunteers, 
evaluated the candidates and sent recommendations to the Executive 
Committee, the elected governing body for the Sierra Club's Minnesota 
chapter, which has final authority over endorsement decisions.  A two thirds 
vote is required by each committee.
